Ø Course Outline
1. I Did It to Myself: Stopping Self Sabotage
"I can't....This always happens to me...." Many self-sabotaging behaviors are the result of negative thoughts and poor choices. This lesson is designed to help participants develop new habits after becoming aware of the various ways that they might be sabotaging their success and adding to stress.
2. Everyone Has 24 Hours a Day: The Realities of Time
What would you do with more time? If you don't know, you hardly have a reason to manage your most valuable resource better. In this introductory lesson, participants will evaluate and articulate their immediate, short-term, and long-term time management goals.
3. Begin With The End In Mind
Imagine your funeral and listen to what you would like the eulogists to say about you. This should reveal exactly what matters most to you in your life. Use this frame of reference to make all your day-to-day decisions so that you are working toward your most meaningful life goals.
4. Put First Things First
To manage our lives effectively, we must keep our mission in mind, understand what's important as well as urgent, and maintain a balance between what we produce each day and our ability to produce in the future. Think of the former as putting out fires and the latter as personal development.
5. Jump Start Your Day: Proven Time Tools That Work
This section focuses on six easy steps participants can take to maximize their time: turning commuting time into productive time, staying on time, properly using a calendar, keeping track with to-do lists, and more.
6. Time Stealers Be Gone: Eliminating Time Wasters for Good
The telephone, voicemail, uninvited guests, and other distractions can ruin a well planned day. In this component, participants will learn techniques to reduce time stealers and how to get a back on track.
7. There's Too Much Junk in Your Trunk: Cleaning out Personal Space
Paperwork, files, pictures, notes, and miscellaneous other "stuff" can grow faster than office gossip in the cafeteria. This unit introduces participants to techniques for toughening up and tossing unneeded junk, stuff, things, treasures, and other doodads that clutter workspace.
8. Procrastination
Pest : Killing That Bug for Good
I’ll put it off. I’ll wait until tomorrow. I’ll do it later. Sound familiar? Procrastination is a problem many people constantly battle. This unit looks at why we procrastinate and techniques for conquering the problem once and for all.
9. Be SMART: Goal Setting for Peak Performance
Delegating and setting realistic and manageable goals is a critical skill for expert time managers to possess. This portion explores the components of SMART goals and allows participants to practice developing long and short-term goals.
10. I'm Drowning: A Lifejacket Please
When there is truly too much to do and not enough time, prioritization is key. This module focuses on ways to better prioritize a heavy workload, how to communicate to others that, "it isn't all going to get done," and how to ask for help.
11. Working Better with Others: Meetings, Delegating, and Saying "No"
In this segment, participants will discover how to work better with others: what to do to prepare for a meeting, how to delegate work to others, and how to say, "no" to frivolous and unrealistic requests.
12. I'm Exhausted When I Get to Work: Tactics for Managing Home Time Better
Sometimes work feels like a vacation, especially when home is more stressful than the office. In this concluding lesson, participants will look at practical ways to balance work and home, techniques for reducing home chores, and tips on streamlining activities.
13. Synergize
Just what it sounds like. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In practice, this means you must use "creative cooperation" in social interactions. Value differences because it is often the clash between them that leads to creative solutions.
14. Sharpen The Saw
Self-renewal has four elements. The first is mental, which includes reading, visualizing, planning and writing. The second is spiritual, which means value clarification and commitment, study and meditation. Third is social/emotional, which includes service, empathy, synergy and intrinsic security. Finally, the physical element includes exercise, nutrition and stress management.
At the program's conclusion, participants will have an understanding of time management techniques: how to use a to-do list, how to prioritize, how to stop procrastinating, and how to work better with others. |
