Course Overview

When we feel stressed our brains and bodies trigger a series of adaptations to deal with the threat. We are preparing to react to danger by fighting, running, or hiding.  This biological system is highly effective for coping with certain threats, such as a tiger stalking you in the jungle.  You don't negotiate with tigers.  You don't innovate.  If you want to survive, you must learn how to manage your time and remain productive even when you are overwhelmed. Despite the stressful environment of work the constant factor is to remain productive.

Increasing productivity has become a cultural obsession. People want to get things done more efficiently to be better, faster, smarter, richer, or just to free up more time for things they enjoy. But people rarely study what productivity means and how to develop productivity.

Some people want to get out of the office faster to spend more time with their families. Some people want to have energy left at the end of the day to put two hours of work into writing a movie script.

When people cannot get things done, they blame it on No Time. Similarly, when people are not very productive, they blame it on No Time. However effective time management is important if we must be productive.

Time management is the ability to use your time productively and efficiently. You could also think of it as the art of having time to do everything that you need, without feeling stressed about it. It sounds simple, but it is much harder in practice. This training explains some of the principles behind good time management to remain productive despite the challenges of work overload.
