III. PHILOSOPHY

Nobody manages time. All one can manage is activity within time.

In this one day class, the TimeWise™ approach is about intentionality, consciousness and accountability regarding one’s activities within time. Really all there is to it is: Choose, Commit, and Act Accountably. This workshop creates an approach to time management, develops skills for pursuing that approach, and identifies tools for supporting the pursuit.

• Time Challenges - identifying organizational and personal barriers to successful time management
• A Brief Philosophy of Time
• The Big “To Do” List - identifying the endless possibilities, selecting and prioritizing based on values, urgency, frequency and restraints
• Time and Type - an insight from Myers-Briggs
• Estimating Time
• Saying “No” – boundaries as a factor in time management
• Finding Time… and other resources
• Accountability – ownership, responsibility, and keeping your word with yourself and others
• Negotiating for Time – an aspect of relationship and respecting others
• Time Tools – identifying and selecting a time management infrastructure for yourself and your team (TimeWise™ defaults to Microsoft Outlook Calendar and Tasks as the tools used, unless otherwise requested)
