IMPORTANCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT
Explore how technology impacts the way you manage your time – for better or worse.
TIME THIEVES
Uncover the hidden “time thieves” in your day—those people, activities, or habits that quietly steal your time. Learn how to identify these distractions and take control, so you can focus on what truly matters and make the most of your day.
ACTION PRIORITIES MATRIX
Learn about the Action Priorities Matrix, a powerful tool to help you decide what deserves your time and focus. Learn how to categorize tasks based on their impact and effort, so you can maximize your energy and talents while achieving your goals efficiently.
EISENHOWER MATRIX
Explore the Eisenhower Matrix, a simple yet effective tool for organizing tasks and managing your time wisely. Learn how to classify tasks as “important” (aligned with your goals) or “urgent” (requiring immediate attention), all while avoiding unnecessary stress.
MoSCoW METHOD
Dive into the MoSCoW Method, a technique for prioritizing tasks and project requirements. Learn how to categorize tasks into four groups: Must-have, Should-have, Could-have, and Won’t-have. By using this method, you’ll ensure that you stay focused on the most important objectives for maximum impact.
AGENDA OF THE DAY
Create a clear and effective agenda for your day. Learn the stages of crafting a well-structured plan, from setting priorities to scheduling tasks. You’ll also explore the benefits of using a digital agenda to stay organized and easily manage your time, making sure nothing important slips through the cracks.
ABC RULE
Try the ABC Rule – a simple method for prioritizing tasks based on the impact on your goals. Using the Pareto Principle, you’ll learn how to focus on the 20% of activities that deliver 80% of your results.
DIGITAL AGENDA
A digital agenda is a powerful tool to help you stay organized, prioritize tasks, and track deadlines—all in one place. By leveraging digital platforms and tools, you can enhance productivity, and adapt to unexpected changes more easily.
TAMING TIME
Managing time effectively is essential for productivity and balance. Eplore tools like the Pomodoro Technique, which boosts focus by working in short, timed intervals with breaks, and Parkinson’s Law, which highlights how tasks expand to fit the time given, encouraging efficient use of time. Mastering these approaches will help you work smarter, not harder.
FIND WHAT SUITS YOU
Time management isn’t one-size-fits-all – especially if you’re neurodivergent – and that’s what makes it exciting. Whether you break projects into bite-sized steps like Alex or use audio apps and colour-coded stickers like Maria, it’s all about customizing the process so it clicks with your brain. Experiment with methods, adjust them to your rhythm, and don’t stress if something doesn’t work—just pivot and try another approach. The goal is to find a system that feels natural and helps you stay motivated, organized, and ready to conquer whatever’s next.
