Time Management

Raising Productivity While Getting & Staying Organized

Approach

There have probably been as many books and articles written about time management as almost any other subject in the personal and professional development field. You probably already know by now that we have been in the personal and professional improvement field since 1985.

We had many requests and suggestions that we address the time management issue. We did so, but in a manner that is consistent with our approach and philosophy. We feel and continue to believe that time management is seldom a time management issue- it is almost always a lack of prioritization and focus issue.

Almost everyone knows that you should prioritize your activities. Almost everyone knows that you should complete your urgent/important/critical (whatever adjective distinguishes that concept as new) tasks each day. Almost everyone knows that planning your day makes more sense than letting others do your planning for you. Everyone knows, but very few do - - -Why? That is what fascinated us. This approach, learning process, and content answer that question.

While a daily planner system is a valuable tool, this development process is not just about how-to-use a daily planner. We focus on internal feelings, desires, attitudes, and habits. We added in the tips and techniques you would normally expect. Participants focus on developing mental confidence, empowering attitudes, and a life planning process that can help them take back control and live their life in a fuller, richer, and more satisfying way.
