Description

People are fond of saying “time is money,” to convey the importance of time management. We use this mantra to justify rushing through our day, taking shortcuts, and applying pressure on ourselves and those around us.

We don’t manage our time, however, the same way we manage our money. We try to budget our time by planning our work day, and we might come up with novel ways to save time here and there, but the similarities often end there. Good financial management is built on intelligence: we make important decisions based on a clear understanding of relativity. A dollar is worth exactly a hundred times more than a penny. This is why a million-dollar investment has a very different risk profile than a twenty-dollar bet.

Without the same intelligent view of our time in its most granular form — hours and minutes spent across a wide array of projects and tasks — we will never succeed in managing our time as effectively as our money. This course is for people who know that their time is as valuable as money, and want to own their time by controlling it with the same precision.

After a review of how this topic has been addressed by academics, we’ll look at tools you can use to test these concepts in your own work routine. We will also examine a case study of a corporate leader juggling many responsibilities, and follow along as she makes informed business decisions with a level of insight she previously thought impossible.

If you ever have found yourself asking, “Where will I find the time?” get ready for a whole new perspective on your work day. This is more than a course on productivity and time management. You’ll eliminate blind spots and help yourself move beyond simple time management, to true ownership of your time.

Who this course is for:

  • At the end of a work day, do you ever ask yourself, "where did my time go?"
  • Do you lack a confident awareness of the most common activities in your work day, and how much time they occupy?
  • Do you struggle with prioritization, or wish you had more objective insight into how much time you invest in your various responsibilities?
  • Do you work from home?
  • This course is for people who know that their time is valuable as money, and want to manage their time with the same precision.
