Geek of the Week profiles the characters of Pacific Northwest tech, science, games, innovation, and more. Be a Geek of the Week! Fill out our questionnaire to be considered.

Data scientists, students, oceanographers, retail shop owners, professional soccer goalies — we had an eclectic bunch of people to profile this year in our recurring Geek of the Week column. And on the road to success, all had an opinion about how to best manage their time.

As we round out 2019 and look forward to a geeky 2020, we’ve collected the answers to our standard question: Your best tip or trick for managing everyday work and life?

Some of the 49 geeks rely on lists or apps for help. Others turn off notifications on their phones to better focus on family time. Some turn to exercise or a mentor, others prioritize and plan diligently. Whatever it takes for you to get through your work day, and your time away from work, perhaps you’ll find an inspiring nugget in one of these answers.

Click the names of each to go back to the full Geek of the Week profile for that individual. And don’t forget to fill out our questionnaire in the new year if you want to be considered.
