Welcome to Unit 1 Time Management
Unit 1 introduces the concepts of time management and discusses the importance of goal setting and time tracking. For example, you have had to put aside other activities and tasks to allow time to take this course. Were they important or urgent, and did they align with your goals? How did you decide what activities to modify, reschedule, or eliminate? Did you hand some actions off to someone else? This unit emphasizes putting you in control of your time and giving you the planning tools to meet goals. You will learn that distractions, lack of planning, and a failure to prioritize can sabotage your personal and professional life. In the materials below, you will learn about tools you can use to gain control of your time. For example, creating a to-do list can help you manage your time. Using the Eisenhower Matrix can go a step further and help you prioritize which tasks need your attention. Remember that efficiency may necessitate recruiting others to help you complete your work. In business terms, you want to optimize your time as a return on investment. How can you maximize balancing your personal and work time to achieve a healthy, rejuvenated, and successful life? You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
