Courageous Time Management Principles
Watch these 4 short videos to quickly get an understanding of the principles of the Courageous Time Management method.
Principle 1: Why You Let Others Steal Your Time
Principle 1 describes why you let others steal your time and how you can stop that from happening.
What you don’t value, you don’t protect. Value your time, value yourself.
It’s not what you do, it’s who you are. Give others the best of you, not the rest of you.
Once you understand and apply principle 1, time will no longer be stolen from you or wasted by you.
Principle 2: Time management is more than tools and techniques
Principle 2 explains why you are struggling with managing your time, even if you have used different techniques and tools. It also describes what is missing and how to add it.
- Time management is straight forward – Life is not. That’s why tools and techniques are not enough to manage all your spheres of life.
- First things first. First appreciate and deal with the complexity – then apply time management tools and techniques
Once you understand and apply principle 2, you know how to add the missing piece to your time management.
Principle 3: With Holistic Time Management everything falls into place
Principle 3 explains that the secret to finding more time is to address what is truly limiting you. (No, it’s not a lack of time!)
- We all have time, but we cannot use it well if we don’t have the energy. Increase your energy so you can make the most of the time you have.
- If you don’t know what you want from life, it doesn’t matter how much time or energy you have. Find your passions back – find yourself back.
Once you understand and apply principle 3, you are ready to optimise how you use your time.
Principle 4: How to fill your glass of time
Principle 4 explains how you can fill your glass of time in a way that is both sustainable and efficient.
- Plan time for your needs, your wants and all the things you could do. In that order. Then you will never run out of time for the things that really matter.
- With the categories of time in balance, you will have energy and passion to live the life you were meant to live.
When you master all 4 principles, you master your time and your life.
