The Time Of Your Life

The time in any given day is one of the few things that is given to us equally. Yet it feels totally different when we are using time in a way we choose for ourselves than it feels when our time seems to loom out of our control. We must ask the larger question of what is valuable in our lives, integrating personal and professional goals. Without a strong desire to live out certain values, time management goes unused. A strong motivation to use one’s time to accomplish what one truly wants is necessary to bring about behavioral changes. This program is for anyone who wants more out of life, at work and at home.

A study of a thousand business people reported that 89 percent take work home, 65 percent work more than one weekend per month, and 53 percent spend less than two hours per week looking after their children. It is not likely that these people are happy with these choices. Time management is a process of constantly asking what is more important and arranging priorities to reflect each choice.

Water, Sand, Gravel, and Rocks: Be Clear About Your Priorities
Time, the great equalizer, is managed by continually setting priorities. From the biggest picture (career and personal long-term goals) to the smallest choices (whether to finish writing the report or return phone calls), each choice places a relative priority order on what we do. This leads us to ask, “Do my current choices actually reflect what is of greatest value to me?” and “How can I clarify what is of greatest value to me and have my time usage reflect my priorities?” These two questions are crucial to time management and will be addressed in this workshop. This Icebreaker stimulates discovery and discussion.

The Centennial Guy: Number Your Days
The true test of living is to be able to look back after a long life and to be able to say, “Yes, I have done what I wanted to do in my lifetime.” Participants will travel towards the future and will look back on one’s life and take stock in what one has accomplished.

Time Management is Life Management: Setting Goals for the Happy Life
This segment is designed to move participants from broad goals to more concrete objectives and from specific action plans to items for their “to-do” lists. By breaking goals down, we begin to accomplish them today, rather than letting them loom large in front of us just out of reach.

Deathly Traps in Time Management
Most people follow a time management program, most of them ineffective and counter productive. This segment will help the participants identify the worst time management practices they are currently using and must avoid to be more effective.

Best Practices in Time Management
Then you have the best practices which are founded on common sense and right beliefs. You can replace the old worst practice with the best practice. Sometimes, all it takes is to know best practices do exist.

Procrastination: Living the Loser’s Life
Participants will discover the reasons why they procrastinated in the past. They will also examined their beliefs and correct them when necessary.

Creating the Clutterless Workplace
A major contribution to procrastination is the clutter of mail, email, documents, magazines, etc., that accumulates on our desks. The participants will share advice on how to reduce clutter. The collective wisdom of the group has been proven to be beneficial.

Claiming the Best Time of Your Life
Participants will commit themselves to a contract with self and others in valuing time. This segment aim to emphasize that time is not only equal to money–time management is life management.
