Abstract

Many studies have shown how knowledge workers face challenges while multi-tasking among several projects and initiatives at the workplace. Researchers and consultants of personal productivity have identified practical strategies and processes that people use to face, plan and manage their activities. Our work is based on the analysis of those processes and strategies involved in personal activity management (PAM), emphasizing the planning aspects of it, with the goal of designing appropriate supportive information technology.
