3.1 Time Management Concepts

Course Overview

Let’s face it – we will never get everything done. Every to-do list contains items that will roll over to the next day, and the next day, and the day after that. For every task we accomplish, two more will take its place. There will never be a day we can sit back and say, “All done!”

We can’t do everything, but we can do a great deal with the time we have. We are all given 24 hours a day, yet some people seem to accomplish far more in those hours than others. Their secret? Effective time management.

But time management isn’t really a secret after all. Walk into any bookstore, open any business magazine, or do an internet search and you will find thousands of tips and tricks. We don’t have enough time to learn how to manage our time!

In this course, we’ll cover the basic concepts of time management. We’ll look at the evolution of time management from the assembly line to the latest apps. We’ll go beyond the to-do list and learn new ways of thinking about prioritizing. We’ll take a look at distractions and how to handle them, as well as how to set up a personal workflow system to keep tasks on track.

We hope the time you spend on this course will help create or free up a tremendous amount of time which you can use to reach your goals!
