  7. What is Time Management? • “Some people think time management is a gimmick to cram more activities into their lives. Actually, time management is a process that helps people live their lives the way they want, efficiently and effectively.” • -(Steve Kaye, P. Q., Kim, 1998)

  8. The “Outlook”

  9. Categorizing Priorities (Business) • Important and urgent. • These demands are easy to assess. When a pipe bursts and water pours into your basement, there is little doubt about how you should be focusing your energies. • Less important and not urgent. • This is where most of us spend--waste--too much time. There are many business tasks that can be delegated, such as the initial screening of job applications--you don't have to read every resume--and routine bookkeeping chores. • Important but not urgent. • This category covers demands on our time that, when tended to, lead to endless payoffs. Planning is one example. These are the tasks that make the most difference in how a company functions, yet a lack of urgency makes it easy to never get around to them. • (Sher, & Sher, 1995)

  10. Taking a Snapshot Who we are Real life scenarios • “The priorities we establish-the choices we make about when and how we use our time-reflect our goals and our values.” (Planning and setting priorities, 2004) • Overtime vs. Family Time • Cleaning the house vs. Playing with your children • Helping vs. Saying ‘No’ • Scheduling a meeting vs. Personal Wellness

Creating Balance • The workplace you (profession, retirement) • The intellectual you (reading, classes) • The physical you (exercise, diet, wellness) • The family you (vacation, family) • The social you (friends, sports, socializing) • The spiritual you (private, congregational) • (Stamp, 1988)

  13. What is Wellness? • : the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal <lifestyles that promote wellness> • Wellness. 2013. In Merriam-Webster.com. Retrieved May 8, 2013, from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wellness

  21. Walk • This final exercise will last for 1 minute. You will get out of your chair and walk around the room.

  22. Why do we need to find time? • The importance of your health • “Recent scientific research suggests that sitting for long periods of time, like in the workplace, can be linked to serious health problems including cancer and heart disease” • (Seward, 2010)

  23. Recommendations • The purpose of today’s exercises • 4 Min/Hour

  24. Setting ‘SMART’ Goals • Specific. Include enough detail that someone else could explain your goal. For example, ``Retire with a million dollars'' is more specific than ``Get rich.'' • Measurable. Include numbers to monitor progress and tell when the goal is complete. ``Read two technical books each month'' is measurable, compared with just ``Read more.'' • Achievable. Ensure the goal can be reached. ``Reduce waste by 5%'' is more realistic than ``Eliminate pollution.'' • Relevant. Goals must relate to your life or business mission. ``Increase productivity by 5%'' helps your business more than ``Sort paper clips.'' • Timely. A goal must include a deadline or rate. For example, ``Prepare budget by noon Friday'' forces action, compared with ``Work on a budget.'' • (Kaye, P. Q., & Kim, 1998)

  25. Example

  26. Final Thoughts • “Keep in mind that on your death bed your last thoughts won’t be, “Did I make enough phone calls?” Rather, your partnering thoughts will questions the quality of your relationships, family, and spiritual concerns. If you were to pass on today, would you feel your life were complete in those respects?” • (Stamp, 1988)
