Beat the Clock, Lower Stress, and Improve Health and Well-Being!
An Introduction to the full range of time management -- taught only by Dr. Steve Randall
Where does time pressure come from, and what can we do about it? If we believe that pressure is 'built into' time, we might try to leave the fast lane whenever we can-during breaks, weekends, vacations, and at retirement. When at work we might use conventional time managment (CTM)-identifying goals, prioritizing, and scheduling tasks. CTM techniques can be very valuable to cut through our confusion about what we want to be and accomplish, to clarify how to approach our goals, and to diminish the sense of being out of control. During this workshop, we'll discuss how CTM techniques are useful.
But does time management always work? "Concerns about quality of life are just as likely to come from someone with a high level of time management training as from someone without it." (Stephen Covey, First Things First) Is something missing from CTM?
Perhaps our assumption about the source of time pressure is wrong. Is it really 'built into' time? Or could it depend on our perspective? If we don't like a job, we resist it, and it's harder to do. If we could 'switch' our feelings, could we get things done more quickly and enjoy them more? Although CTM doesn't directly address this question, the new field of inner time management (ITM) shows how to change our way of relating to a task and get totally involved, optimizing well-being and productivity. During this workshop, we can explore ITM methods.
Is time's speed just external? Does each of us have a processing
speed somewhat like a computer's cycle time? Like a personal
space, we might have a personal time, the time it
typically takes us to process a bit of information. Heat, emotions,
and drugs, including caffeine, affect the speed of everything
we do. Is there an 'internal' way to 'control' personal time?
If we were able to increase our personal speed without
getting anxious, could we 'keep up' with increasing work demands?
We can discuss this possibility.
You can learn:
- You can simultaneously get results and improve health and well-being
- Conventional time management usually promises more than it can deliver
- There is one kind of time we can't change and a type that we can change dramatically
- You can directly cut through various feelings that waste time-confusion, tiredness, indecision, scatteredness, time pressure and anxiety, and negative emotion
- There are six different levels of mastery of time pressures
- Peak performance has an element of timelessness
- Tracking feelings of time flow is a means of continuous improvement
