Are you missing opportunities for fulfillment because of confusion about your goals or inadequate planning of your personal or professional affairs? One hour spent clarifying goals and planning activities can be worth three or four hours trying to do things without a good sense of direction.
This seminar gives you an opportunity to clarify the important goals in your life and learn the organizational skills necessary to accomplish them efficiently. You can feel more in control and get more done--while decreasing stress! Conventional time management (CTM) is about doing the right things, and Inner Time Management (ITM) is about doing things right. Organizing Your Life-Time is a CTM course.
Possible Benefits:
You'll get a better sense of your direction in life.
By identifying all your current roles, and then writing down your goals and their priorities in all the major areas of life, you'll clarify your sense of direction.
You'll know how to organize in order to get things done efficiently.
This seminar teaches the essential skills of identifying the tasks necessary to accomplish your goals, prioritizing and scheduling these tasks along with appointments from your calendar, and visualizing your schedule to make sure it will work.
This workshop describes principles for using hardcopy and software organizers. There are many different types of organizers--including binders, hardcopy and software calendars, daily scheduling sheets, and other materials--that are available, and Results in No Time doesn't recommend any in particular. The choice will depend on your particular work and personal situation, as well as individual taste or organizational decisions.
