Staying on Track: Time and Self Management

Overview

As COVID continues to impact our lives and our work environments, it can be difficult to stay focused on our work. It can feel like there is not much to be done to solve these challenges, but there are actions you can take to get  back on track.

In this course, you will learn key insights into the art of self-management and the key factors that directly influence how you manage your time and attention. Some of the topics we will explore in this highly interactive and hands-on learning program include:

  • Common time/self-management challenges and how to overcome them
  • The key components of effective self-management
  • Analyzing the importance and urgency of your daily activities to make the best decisions for focusing your attention
  • The biggest and most transformative secret to time management
  • Classic time stealers – and how to deal with each
  • Sixteen top tips for managing your life and time

You will leave this session with a set of tools and approaches for restoring a sanity and balance to your work and life and a thoughtful plan for making this happen.

Some of the concepts were already familiar to me, but with the emphasis on shifting the paradigm from time management to self management, I realized just how quickly some of the ideas and techniques could be implemented in my life and work for immediate positive impact. This was my second course through SBDC (both online) and I found it very enjoyable and informative, even in the less-than-ideal online format. Heather Ferguson coordinated everything expertly and Jeffrey fostered a learning environment that was focused yet fun and organic. A+
