Time management: Stop making excuses and make time instead

Overview

No one can extend the time, no matter how much we wish we could do that. You can’t add the 25th hour of the day to be able to do more, but you can make better use of the 24 hours you have. We are all able to manage our time more effectively, to organize our efforts to achieve more things. All you need to do is decide to take control of your time and then take small steps in the right direction. In this course, you will analyze how you spend your time now and what you can do to spend it more wisely and productively. You’ll also learn how to eliminate time-consuming factors that affect your productivity, use to-do lists and schedules to organize your time and tasks, and get in the habit of consulting your plans to make sure you meet them.
