Somewhere in all the excitement of launching MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free and MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional I carved out some time to address an issue that I has been growing in my mind — the “Weekly Review.”

It’s a simple idea.

Take some time out of the week to survey all the time demands that are in your time management system.  Shuffle the items around until you’re happy with them, and start the week off on the right foot.

However the problem is that the weekly review has turned into a burden for many people, and a tedium that they find themselves shying away from given the smallest  excuse.

The problem isn’t their attitude, or lack of discipline as some would posit.  Instead, it lies in the way they do their “listing” and their “scheduling.”  Strange huh?

Well, it’s  a meaty subject that is well worth the effort to understand because the result is that if you take my recommendations to heart, you’ll want to start to upgrade the way you manage your schedule.

Follow this link to be taken the “Fixing the Weekly Review Permanently.”

P.S. Remember that I’m closing the doors to the store on Thursday, February the 12th at mid-day.  In the meantime, stay tuned to hear about the bonuses I’m putting in for those who register before then.

It’s now open!

MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional and MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free are now open for registration.

Click here to be taken to the information page and you’ll find a last-minute video I put together that takes you through both products.

If you encounter any technical issue in your registration, just let me know by leaving a comment!

How will I know that MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional is Effective?

I will share with you some testimonials of people who have used this approach to good effect.

However, I’ll be honest — the research shows that there is no standard way to measure the effectiveness of ANY time management program.

(Anyone who promises to double your profits or triple your productivity with their program isn’t being completely honest.)

Instead what you will do in Pro is set your own hard and soft goals.

You learn to measure the hard goals by making observations about your  habits, and where there is a visible, tangible change.  The soft goals are measured by how you feel about your progress at the end of the day, week or month, and how satisfied you are with your progress.

At the end of it all, you are both the referee and the player, and I’ll help you to avoid fooling yourself about your progress, and show you how you can rely on the input of others (which you’ll receive a lot of, but only if you want it.)

Believe me, my blog will show you that I have been looking at this question of measurement for several years, and I am always scanning the most recent research to find a breakthrough in this area.  As the answers become more solid, they’ll be incorporated into MyTimeDesign 2.0.Pro as soon as they are tested.

If you have a concern that the program won’t work for you, or work at all, then here is some good news.  I am providing a full 6 week guarantee.  You’ll receive a full refund if you withdraw from the program during that time, without any questions being asked.

How Will This Fit In With the Current System I’m Using? e.g. “ACME Time Management”

If you are already using a time management system developed using someone else’s ideas there’s no need to worry.

I’ll show you how to use what you learned even more effectively, and more importantly how to implement it more effectively.

The reason I can promise to do that is that I trust your choice of ACME Time Management, and I am sure it has some good ideas.

In MyTimeDesign 2.0.Pro you’ll learn how to take the ideas that you have learned and turn them into habits, practices and rituals that can be put into play in a planned and peaceful fashion.  This varies from the expectation of most of these systems, which is that implementation will be a straightforward, all-at-once matter, and that no understanding of your current habit-pattern is required.

But at the end of the day, I don’t care what you call your time management system — just as long as you know that it’s yours, and not ACME’s, or MyTimeDesign’s.  If it works, or doesn’t work, you are the one who is responsible.

What Can I Expect if I Upgrade My Time Management System?

The biggest result should be an increased peace of mind, as more things fall into place in your life, and fewer things fall through the cracks.

You should also be more productive in the traditional sense: have the sense of having more choices, and be in command of more of your time.  You’ll be able to deal with interruptions better and be less of a procrastinator.

You’ll be better able to deal with and avoid the everyday stresses related to time management.

People around you will notice that something is different – they’llsee you acting differently and may even see you more in charge of your life as you achieve more of a balance.

But enough broad-brushing on my part.  At the start of Pro, you actually craft a set of goals that are important to you and you’ll be successful when you achieve them. Period.

You can actually start seeing results IMMEDIATELY in this program — as soon as it starts.  All that we have to find is a way to support you in changing your habits quickly.  I’ll provide you with a number of ways to help make that happen, and how fast you go will depend on how quickly we can find the “secret sauce” needed to change your habits.

Will This Be Easy?  Is it for Everyone?

I’m going to be honest here.

If you’re looking for quick solutions, fast tips and aren’t interested in working hard then the Pro version is not for you.

The Pro version is simply not for everyone.

There are other programs that promise effortless results, and if you believe that they are possible, you should pursue them!

If you don’t believe the hype, however, then you may have found a home in a program that won’t insult your intelligence with inflated promises.

I want everyone to read through the content of this site carefully, because what I am offering is quite different from anything I have encountered in the public domain.  A decision to apply to the Professional program should be a careful one.

How Much Time Will Be Needed for the Pro version?

The Pro version includes 15 weeks of core lessons, and each user receives full access to the learning community for another 15 weeks.  Users can decide to use the support provided in the classrooms to continue to upgrade their systems for the entire period.

I can’t say how much time I’d recommend that you spend each week working on your habits, but I doubt that most participants will be able to produce much of a change without at least a couple hours per week of study and application.  That’s about 20 minutes per day…

Are There Other MyTimeDesign Products Being Offered?

There are.  I offer MyTimeDesign 2.0.Executive for those who require individual on-site attention.  I also offer MyTimeDesign 2.0.Coaching for professionals who want to hire me as an individual coach to work with them over the phone and internet.  For more details on these offerings, send me email from http://ReplytoFrancis.info

.

OK, I am a bit excited about this!

I am almost at the end of pulling together the MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional classroom.

It was custom made by my team, and is intended for one thing only:  to make it easy for participants to upgrade their habits during the course of the program.

The key word is DURING the program… and I offer a variety of options to help participants devise their own habit support structure.  But here… take a look.

What do you think?  (The video is just short of 10 minutes long.)

.

Here are a few of the questions I have been getting about MyTimeDesign, based on the information I have shared so far with the general public:

How Does MyTimeDesign Compare to Other Time Management Approaches?

I once explored a time management system that insisted that each person who followed it needed to “discipline themselves” into adhering to its precisely prescribed habits.

Needless to say, it only worked for a handful of people… the few who were lucky enough to have habits that happened to line up with those described in the program.

For the vast majority, however, it failed to work for them.

I can’t imagine what the creators were thinking.  Did they really believe that all people in all countries, regardless of age, culture and background would end up marching to the same tune, and using the exact same personal habits, practices and rituals?

Instead, people do “that thing they do” when, in their thousands, they sit in time management classes, read books or scour the internet for tips.  That is, THEY DO THEIR OWN THING!

They ignore the advice of the gurus (who tell them to “march harder”) and instead they  devise their own time management systems, using a bit from here and a bit from there.

ARE THEY CRAZY???  (Obviously, they’re not supposed to do that…)

I started creating MyTimeDesign starting with this fact.

Instead of trying to change people’s character, I have assumed that they
are all different, and require different solutions and that trying to get them all to march together in the same way won’t work.

MyTimeDesign is built on the idea that each working professional can follow guidelines instead of prescriptions, and end up with a unique time management that works for them.

(There are some who disagree…)

But it’s a little like the approach used by a good art school.  They don’t tell you how to be an artist, but instead they teach the fundamentals and allow each person’s creativity to flourish from there.

MyTimeDesign is about teaching each student the fundamentals and allowing them to upgrade or craft  their time management system in a way that makes sense to their goals, personality and culture.

It’s the very opposite of one-size-fits-all.  And it’s not like marching in goose-step at all.

How Does the 1.0.Free Version Compare with the 2.0.Pro Version?

I answered this question at a high level in two prior posts: What Will it Look Like? (part 1) and What It Is (part 2.)

Here are some more details, however in the form of a side-by-side comparison.

Also, “Free” will be ad-supported.

The MAIN difference is in the support, and in the role that I play.

In the Free version, participants bring their own support, and they receive no direct coaching.  They have full access to many of the core ideas of the MyTimeDesign programs via a series of emails that direct them to each lesson.

Success in completing the 6 week program requires a certain amount of self-discipline as no-one will be monitoring student progress on an individual level.

In the Pro version, participants receive assistance in building their own habit support structure.  There are weekly events of different kinds that include myself and other students — in fact, I’ll be working on my own upgrade alongside the participants in the first cohort or group.  I’ll personally help students to make it through all 16 Lessons, as I join in the fun.

The Pro environment provides for a great deal of sharing of successes, insights, issues, challenges and breakthroughs.

I’m still tinkering with the pricing of the Pro version, but “Free” does mean free.

I have to limit the number or participants in both programs in order to provide the kind of experience that I want, and once the registrations hit a certain number, I’ll be shutting down registration.

Oh, and by the way…  there will be an application required for those interested in MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional.

Will MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional be Practical or Philosophical?

A regular reader of my 2Time blog would know that I spend a lot of time on the philosophy of time management – trying to fix the underlying assumptions that seem to be so confused.  For that reason, I call it a “research” blog.

However, Pro is designed to make habit change easy, and to make it happen as quickly as possible while the course is in session.  The reason it stretches over 15 weeks in time is to give participants a chance to tinker with their habits in order to see real changes happen.

This is hands-on work.  I honestly don’t care if people agree with the ideas or not… the classroom environment is designed to help people make sustained changes in their habits, and that for me is the only sign of success.

Anyone who likes philosophy should either stick to reading the blog or take the Free version.  The hands on nature of the Pro version program will probably become uncomfortable for those who are shopping for cool ideas.

.

In my prior post I mentioned that I am going to be offering two products: MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free and MyTimeDesign 2.0. Professional.

I went into some detail on what the “Free” product would be all about, so here’s some information on the “Professional” product.

Right off the bat I have a confession — I am still adding the final details to both Free and Professional (Pro.)  It’s been a lot of hard work, especially for Pro, which will have a new platform and feature a new level of interactivity between everyone who is doing the program.

But I get ahead of myself.

Why am I even offering a Pro version?

I have a blend of reasons as I mentioned in the prior post — I want to craft a way to help people make solid, observable, measurable progress in upgrading their time management systems.  To be honest, I also want the entire venture to be sustainable, and profitable.

As I mentioned before, the ideas embedded in good time management system are now freely available on the internet, on websites and in ebooks, and I have captured the best of them on my own website: http://2time-sys.com.  They are also available in inexpensive books and training programs.

What they are missing is the kind of post-course support that people need to turn good ideas into new habits.

Let’s take for example a New Year’s Resolution that many are about to make as we enter a new decade:  “to exercise more often.”

According to Wikipedia, only 12% of people will successfully achieve their goals, and it’s usually not because the goal is an unworthy one (most of the time.)

Instead, they fail because they don’t know how to change their habits.

Or, in other words, they don’t know what specific blend of tactics to use to support their transformation.

At the heart of MyTimeDesign 2.0: Professional is a system that I help you to put together to support yourself in changing the habits that make up your time management system.

• For a few people it means hiring me to work them individually.  I have occasionally flown in to help executives upgrade their time management systems, but I don’t recommend this option very often!  I am only willing to do this with a handful of people

• For others it might mean a set of automated reminders that don’t require one’s memory at all

• For others it might be a set of financial incentives (or penalties)

• For many (but not all) it means some kind of community, like a class team, or interactive chat room or individual coach

This is just a sample of some of the supports that can be used.  Pro is about ensuring that you make progress by crafting a set of supports that works for you, using the guidelines that I provide.

Also, this program gives the latest research that I have conducted into the 11 fundamentals of time management.  This information isn’t included in the Free product because it’s so new that it wasn’t included in MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free which only covers the first 6 fundamentals which are known as the Essentials.

Plus, in “Pro” I have come up with some new ways to make it easier for you to understand and apply the fundamentals, the belt levels and the Master Habit Plan that you’ll make.

There will be 15 weeks of core lessons, plus some important modules that I’ll be adding on topics such as the Zero Inbox.  You’ll cover them at your own pace, but with the help of your custom support system, you will be making it VERY difficult for yourself to fall off the wagon and revert to old habits.

Perhaps that’s the best way to describe the Pro version.

With my help, you’ll make it easy to continue your progress, and hard to stop.  You’ll do this by creating a supportive environment that uses the right blend of supports to keep you on track.

Some of you will need little support, while some of you will need a LOT!

Nothing right or wrong here, as we’re only looking to do what works for you.

Some people say that this is a bit like “working around yourself” and it’s true.

The internet makes it much easier than ever before to create these supports for yourself without paying a lot of money, thereby increasing the odds that you’ll be successful.

MyTimeDesign will show you how to succeed in implementing your upgrades, without assuming anything about you, your preferences, your culture, your skill-level, or even which other time management systems and tips you have used in the past.

(Oh, and by the way, I’ll be encouraging you to continue to use whatever system you have been using that’s worked for you.  If you are a Covey person, for example, you don’t have to change.  Your upgrades will build on what you have already accomplished.)

Stay tuned — there’s more to come about MyTimeDesign 2.0: Pro, but in the meantime — what do you think?  Does this resonate?  What questions would you like me to answer next?

On Tuesday January 26th at 8:00pm EST (5:00pm Pacific) I’ll be holding a webinar called “Hype Against the Facts – How to Improve Your Time Management Skills in the Real World.”

During that webinar I’ll be separating Time Management Hype from Time Management Facts, and I also give you some information about the MyTimeDesign programs that I’ll be opening on Thursday the 28th.

Go now to register as space is limited.

One of the questions I struggled with was how to break MyTimeDesign into manageable product offerings that would have the impact that I wanted, while enabling it to continue.

While I love blogging at the 2Time blog, one thing that I learned from the classroom and online programs is that it’s possible to learn a LOT more from focused training than from reading 400 posts.

But I also learned that most people required specialized support to be successful in changing habits permanently.

As I was trying to figure out what to do, I downloaded a free audio-book entitled “Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson.”  I listened to it over and over again, mulling over its potent message.

To cut a long story short, I decided to create a 6 week version of MyTimeDesign that I could offer for free.

Essentially, it’s a portion of the same content that I offered in MyTimeDesign 1.0 early in 2008.  Back then I sold it for US$99, and it included audios, videos and text, covering the first 7 fundamentals of time management.

Plus, it gave access to an online forum, where users could support each other in upgrading their time management systems.

How can I afford to offer this program for free?

Well, in Chris’ book I heard that line repeated – “information wants to be free.”  I also realized that the actual habits that are recommended in MyTimeDesign are not ground-breaking… they are repeated all over the internet in tons of lists of  “10 zillion Time Management Tips” that can be found with a simple Google search.

It told me that the key information (in the form of tips blogs, ebooks, audios and videos) was already free and more or less already saying the same things.  (An online survey I recently did confirmed this finding.)

What I am offering in the MyTimeDesign programs is something different — a way to use these 10 zillion tips tips without getting lost.

In other words, MyTimeDesign offers an upgrade path… a way for you to to get from where you are today, to a destination that you set for yourself.  You define where your upgrade will take you, based on the information in the program.

Rather than offering you the “perfect set of habits,” MyTimeDesign is provides intelligent assistance to effect an upgrade.

I imagined that there are 3 groups of people who might be interested:

Group #1

I imagined that for those people who are super-highly self-disciplined, just finding out that there is an upgrade path would be enough.  They would implement it themselves.  Before last year, I think I would have put myself in this group. Now…I don’t,  and  I can only admire them from afar!

Group #2

I also imagined that those people who are completely new to time management (what MyTimeDesign calls “Level 1 White Belts”) would be blown away by the idea that they already have a system, and that it can be upgraded whenever they want with the right approach.  They would move up a notch by simply obtaining a new level of awareness.

Group #3

Lastly, I perceived that there was a big group in the middle.  They would benefit the most from having a supportive environment that’s required to make major habit changes over time in order to upgrade their time management systems.  They are the ones who would end up making the biggest changes, and undergo the most profound transformations as they undertook the right changes at the right time, rather than trying to wade through 10 zillions tips, or implement a whole new system from scratch.

All this thinking led me to the following decisions:

• Offer MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free to the public at no cost and gear it towards the needs of people in Groups #1 and #2.

• Invent MyTimeDesign 2.o.Professional at a price, and gear it to the needs of people in Group #3.

My hope is that enough people will decide to upgrade MyTimeDesign 1.0.Free to MyTimeDesign 2.o.Professional to make the entire effort a profitable one that is sustainable.  As a result, “Free” will be ad-supported.

In other words, I want to have a business that produces enough valuable results for the customer that enables the thinking I have started to continue that pulls from the best of the research that exists.

What would be different enough about MyTimeDesign 2.0.Professional that would make anyone interested in it? Tune into my next post…

P.S.  Both versions of MyTimeDesign will be offered on Thursday of next week (Jan 28th) at 12pm EST.  Stay tuned…

Now and then I ask myself the very same question.

Why?

Why bother?

Why bother to offer a new approach to time management?

There are many approaches out there, and it’s not as if they are doing an awful job for those who use them.  Some of the time management systems that I have heard about are:

• Getting Things Done (GTD®)
• Covey’s 7 Habits
• Do It Tomorrow
• The Mission Control Productivity System
• Zen to Done
• GTD Lite
• The Pomodoro Technique
• Waking Up Productive
• The Now Habit
• Take Back Your Life
• Getting Organized
• Time of Your Life
• TRO
• The Personal Efficiency Program

… and many, many others.

There are also a growing number of productivity blogs and websites that offer thousands of tips that are all intended to help you improve your time management skills.

There is simply no shortage of ideas.

So…. why?  Why bother?

What really got me thinking was my own experience. While all these systems were good, there was none that was perfect, and they certainly didn’t encourage their users to experiment with a bunch of different approaches before making a system of their own (some call it a “mash-up.”)

In other words, they were closed, rather than open systems. Kinda like Microsoft and Apple vs. anything Open-Source.

The problem was that you and I were probably treating our systems as if they were open-source — building our own mash-ups by taking a little bit from here and there to craft something that worked for us, but probably wouldn’t work for anyone else.

I wouldn’t recommend, for example, that anyone take my personal time management system and use it for themselves. Today, in December 2009, it’s heavily influenced by my living in Kingston, Jamaica.

If you don’t live in Kingston, Jamaica then you shouldn’t think about copying what I do!!!!

Instead…. you should keep on doing what you’re doing… your own thing… forever… and never let it become someone else’s thing.

I’m passionate about every professional taking control of their current time management skills and working them into a system that fits their lifestyle, regardless of where the original ideas may have come from.

Maybe you’re like me in this respect and just want the damned thing to work.

After blogging about this topic for three years in over 370 posts, one online program (MyTimeDesign 1.0,) several live program (NewHabits-NewGoals) and lots of feedback,  I have learned a thing of two about what I call “Time Management 2.0.”  Here the things that people have told me that they want:

Want #1:  Respect
I learned that everyone has a time management system they are currently using. It might not be written down anywhere, and they might hesitate to call it a “system” but I have realized that the habits, practices and rituals they use each day do, indeed, accomplish results.

Whatever system that is being used deserves some respect for doing its job of bringing the user successfully to this moment in time.

I made a mistake early on by not realizing that everyone has a system when I focused on helping them to create their own – as if their current system didn’t exist.  Luckily I got some feedback to say that I needed to understand where most people are — using their own system, but not entirely aware of the fact.

Want #2:  Gentle Upgrades

Most people who attempt to implement a new time management system fail.   The reason is that none of the systems I have seen starts with what they know and builds on what they are currently using.

They assume that people just need to know the destination — the new set of habits described in the new system — and don’t need to focus on the habits they have now.

When people try to implement entirely new systems, they end up having a tough time of it, because they end up trying to overlay a new system of habits on top of their own.

Guess what happens?

They try to change too many habits all at once, and end up reverting to their former system at the first sign of trouble.

While the change-it-all-at-once approach might work for some, for most it’s a disaster.  A much better idea is to upgrade slowly, or only as quickly as one’s current habit patterns can be effectively and permanently changed.

In productivity programs I taught several years ago I didn’t realize this fact, and saw many well-intentioned people who loved the ideas flounder in trying to make too many changes all at once.

Want #3:  Acceptance

At first, when I created a way to help people improve their skills using a belt system, I thought that everyone would be interested in becoming what I called a Black Belt in time management.  I came up with a detailed pathway to get there by upgrading 11 fundamental skills, one at a time.

Somewhere along the way I realized that my mother (who is 70) has no need for a Black Belt in time management.  She just had her hip replaced, and at this stage in her  life she isn’t looking for the kind of skills that a Black Belt employs.

I also met a smart guy at a University here in Jamaica who stopped Karate after getting his Brown Belt at age 11.  He moved to a different city, and had no further opportunity to improve his skills… and he told me that he was happy with what he had accomplished, and had no need to go any further at this time.

Not everyone needs to improve their time management system — it all depends on whether or not what they have is giving them the peace of mind they want in their life right now.

Of course, I didn’t realize any of this when I started my blog.  It’s been one discovery after another!

Want #4:  After-Learning Support

I was so disappointed.  After my live 2 day NewHabits programs conducted here in the Caribbean were over, some students were reverting to their old habits, just as they did after any other time management program.

I got disappointed again in MyTimeDesign 1.0 when participants learned the concepts, but had a hard time implementing them on their own.

I dug a LOT deeper and started to learn a lot about the reasons why people change habits or don’t change habits, even when their motivation is as high as it can be.  I started working on my own habits, using a simple list of habits that I checked off each day.

After a year of tracking my habits I can tell you — habits are HARD to change.  New ones are hard to learn. Old ones are hard to break.

Without help it’s difficult.

The help may take many forms, and the challenge is that people require different systems of support.  For example I may like to work in a virtual team, but you may prefer automated reminders and a third person may need a live coach.

Creating the optimal, individual set of supports is critical to success.  I offered a handful of supports in MyTimeDesign 1.0, but I found that only a few students found it useful.  I gave up when I realized that I couldn’t design the perfect support system for each person — it had to be designed by them according to their needs, and what they needed was some help in putting it together.

So here’s “Why…”

Why MyTimeDesign 2.0?

It’s all about satisfying the need that you and other working professionals have to possess time management skills that meet your goals, regardless of what they are.

Some want to implement  new practices that help them take their system to the next level.

Some want to gain an understanding of the time management system they currently use, so that they can discover how it really works for the first time.  (Many don’t know that their current skills actually do make up a system.)

Some are going through a change in their lives (job, relationships, money, family) in which they need new skills to cope with new demands.

Some don’t want to change anything at all.

Any of these frames of mind are cool — my intention is to find ways to empower you and other people wherever you are at any moment in time.

I don’t want to replace the already existing commercial systems that exist in books programs and websites.

Instead, I want to do something different.  Instead of handing out interesting recipes… I want to teach you how to cook.

Once you know how to cook, you can pick up any recipe you want (or two, or three) and create a hell of an individual recipe that works for you.

A mash-up.  But I can’t help you with your cooking.

I can help you to realize a time management mash-up or system, that is your signature tool for leading a successful life.

When you do that, I’ll know I’ve been successful, and it’s the reason that I’m developing MyTimeDesign 2.0.

And it’s also why I love this quote from The Tao by Lao Tzu:

Go to the people

Learn from them

Love them

Start with what they know

Build on what they have

But of the best teachers

When their work is done

Their task is accomplished

The people will remark

We have done it ourselves.

P.S. As you read this blog, I’d love to hear what else you might want that I haven’t addressed (apart from “instant magical solutions that require no work whatsoever”… I’m all out of those!)

P.P.S. Some readers have been bugging me about hearing details quickly.  If you’d like to get on the Early Notification list (the one that will get _all_ the advanced information about the program and the early bird discounts) then add your name to the list at the “Early” page by clicking here.

I snuck out while I was vacation recently near Ocho Rios, Jamaica, to start what I thought would be a small project – 20 videos on time management.

2 weeks later I’m shaking my head, as it turned out to take much longer than I originally thought.  (Here is a pic of me taken by my wife as I was editing the final product.)

At the end, I had what I wanted:  the core of the 2Time and MyTimeDesign approaches to time management in 20 short videos, most of which are under 3 minutes in length.

In each video I tried to include at least one provocative idea that very few people are talking writing or speaking when it comes to time management.

They actually are made up of 2 sets:

The 10 Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) About Time Management

and

The 10 Questions that People Should Be Asking (SAQ’s) About Time Management.

All the videos are available for free at the following link – which you must register for: http://mytimedesign.com/20vidsnow

Also available as a bonus is a copy of the transcripts to all 20 videos for those who prefer reading or have a bit of difficulty understanding my Jamaican accent.  While I don’t exactly break into the local dialect, I did go a bit quickly in some spots.

I’d love to get your feedback here or on YouTube (or Vimeo) – the primary locations at which I have stored the videos.

Here is the first video in the series: FAQ #1 – Why Should I Care About Time Management?

And here is the complete list of questions that I answer in the series:

1 Why should I care about time management?

2 Why do I procrastinate so much?

3 How can I improve my time management skills?

4 Why do people forget the time management stuff they learn so quickly?

5 How do I make permanent changes to my time management system?

.

6 How do I figure out what to change?

7 What if I am already using a system?

8 Can I triple my productivity and profits? While working less?

9 How quickly can I produce results?

10 Is there any system that works for everyone?

SAQ’s about Time Management

1 Is it my time management system, or theirs?

2 What is a time management system? What am I trying to change?

3 Does everyone have a time management system?

4 Is it easier to mimic someone’s habits or start with your own?

5 What do I need to have to upgrade my time management system?

6 How will I know that I’m successful?

7 What kinds of supports do I need?

8 What are the fundamentals of time management that I have heard about?
