Welcome to Time Management for Remote Workers! This video outlines the format of the course.
Set up a remote workspace, apply the two-minute rule to emails and tasks, close loops, and use a capture tool to organize your to-do list and files.
In the unit on SPACE, we talk about how and where to document your daily tasks. I wanted to show what it looks like to put this into practice. My buddy Kevin Truong is a filmmaker, and has no system in place to manage his daily work. I show him in this video how to set up a Trello board.
Master remote time management by prioritizing daily tasks, breaking work into manageable steps, and delegating. Use impact and ease and Eisenhower matrices, review your to-do list, and prune non-priorities.
Prioritize projects by your values to decide what to invest time in, not urgency. Map your ideas to values like learning, community, design, and sustainability, then block time daily.
Learn to block time in your calendar, build daily routines, align tasks with energy patterns, and batch meetings to work proactively and reduce distractions.
Identify the problem and ideal state with measurable goals, then break them into daily steps by working backwards. Use lead and lag measures to stay on track and schedule time.
Increase energy and focus by single-tasking, minimizing distractions, and prioritizing health through reflection and proactive thinking. Apply batching, sleep, and habits to sustain energy for high-quality, error-reducing work.
Explore time management resources for remote work, including getting things done, the 80/20 rule, deep work, tidying, happiness, prioritization, digital distraction reduction, and mindful sequencing from diverse experts.
In this video, I worked to get a friend started on using Trello to organize his various projects and demands. I started by sharing with him how I use Trello, then we decided how he should organize his boards and lists.
Travel light to save time and align with time zones, schedule rest days, set clear working hours, and use WeWork spaces to maintain productivity while traveling.
Learn to build reliable time management systems that document every task, achieve one touch communications, and report completed actions to deliver on time and be a delightful, dependable teammate.
Welcome to the world of remote working! While the flexibility of working from home or a cafe can be really nice, there are a whole new set of distractions and complications once we leave the office. How do we keep our work lives from blending into our personal lives? And does anyone else out there get really tempted to take a nap in the middle of the afternoon?
This course is NOT about working harder or clocking more hours. This is about working smarter so you can feel less stressed and enjoy your free time more.
In this course, you'll learn best practices for how to get control of your workspace, set up your calendar, prioritize your daily tasks, and finally, manage your energy for maximum focus. This program starts with an assessment, so you can see where you have the most opportunity for skill development. After the assessment, you'll be able to dive into the video content with more directed goals.
I take a holistic approach to Time Management- we aren't robots! I'm sure you have many demands competing for your attention, especially if you work from your home. Let's get real about major factors impacting your productivity and come up with a game plan to take steps towards getting those habits on the right track.
I have worked as a university instructor and corporate trainer since 2005, so I apply what I've learned over the years as an educator. I also rely heavily on visual aides, as that is one way these concepts have come to life for me.
Congratulations on taking this first step towards improving your habits!
