So, How's Time Management
Working for You?
Let's face it - we can always brush-up on some time management skills. But some people, like me, have failed miserably with the same-old time-saving strategies because they don't seem to apply to me as a unique person.
Yet, I was tired of feeling disorganized, foggy, pressured, confused about what’s next, and over-spent. What made me seriously re-visit good time and stress management is what my life feels like without it. Chronic, hard-hitting weeks easily become a challenging and overwhelming life.
Nevertheless, we all know time management information is important because we keep returning to the idea of it. What’s clear is that we want something more than just a new tip or technique…
We want to feel better.
Why Haven't I Fixed This On My Own?
Here’s why. Generic advice fails us because it doesn't consider you and I as exceptional human beings with some strategies that already work just fine. No one is all-bad with goal setting, scheduling, planning, and organization! In fact, we all already operate in many brilliant ways. So, we’re perfect and there’s room for improvement.
Professionally, I struggled with feeding my students the same dry, mind-numbing text-book techniques and tools that never helped me. Instead, we've infused well-being research, ancient wisdom, and our favorite time strategies that actually work, and consider what’s already good about us. My students feel better when starting with, “what’s already right about what I do?"
