Brain Bites: Time Management

Do you ever wonder how some people get so much done, and others struggle to cross one item off a to-do list? While everyone is given the same twenty-four hours every day, how you use them is up to you. In this mini course, we’ll look at tips from some of the world’s top experts in time management, including Dave Crenshaw, Peter Drucker, and Tim Ferriss.

You’ll learn why it’s important to start with a time audit to find out where you are being productive and where you are losing time. Then you’ll identify priorities to see where you should be focusing your time and attention. You’ll also see why it’s important to think about those things that are out of your control versus things that you can actually change. Then you’ll learn the best way to write and maintain a to-do list, and how the 80/20 rule applies to time management. Lastly, you’ll discover ways to get rid of time wasters and be more efficient by batching your tasks.

Topics covered include:

• Using a time audit to analyze your productivity
• Defining your priorities
• Focusing on what you can vs. what you cannot change
• Using a to-do list effectively
• Using the 80/20 rule to manage your priorities, to-do list, and interruptions
