Most time management workshops give you advice on what to do without showing you how to operationalize the advice as an insanely busy academic.
This workshop fills that gap with myriad examples of how to employ the twelve steps in terms of research, teaching, and service.
THE 12 STEPS
Work on the Most Important Tasks
1. Write your mission statement.
2. Write SMART goals.
3. Differentiate the urgent from the important.
4. Put first things first.
5. Make a weekly rank-ordered “to do” list.
6. Make a weekly work plan.
Work Efficiently on Tasks
7. Wrestle your email to the ground.
8. Work on big tasks in small increments.
Work Less Hard on Less Important Tasks
9. Tone down your perfectionism.
10. Procrastinate consciously.
Do Not Work on Certain Less Important Tasks
11. Delegate: Do only that which only you can do.
12. Just say, “No.”
About Coaching
After the Leaving Your Legacy workshop, Tara and/or Brian are excited to join participants for one-hour coaching sessions.
Immediately following the workshop, begin to apply the principles to your work flow. You'll then have a chance to share their discoveries with colleagues who are overcoming similar hurdles.
These powerful coaching sessions provide the accountability, structure, and momentum to help the plans of participants become permanent.
