At simplify 101 we’re super excited to add It’s About Time to our online workshop catalog. Of all the topics that fall under the organizing umbrella, time management is one we’re particularly passionate about. See, how you choose to spend your time is essentially how you choose to spend your life. It’s a topic that has far-reaching consequences. It is, in a word, important.  But just because it’s important doesn’t mean we aren’t going to have some fun along the way, too. At simplify 101, we’re all about making things fun while getting things done.

As with other simplify 101 workshops, It's About Time doesn’t prescribe a one-size-fits-all approach to time or task management. Instead, you’ll start by pinpointing the ways you’d like to change how you spend your time and manage your to-dos. Then, using the ideas and techniques presented in the lessons, along with a questionnaire, worksheets, and straight forward action steps, you’ll create a customized approach to time and task management—one that works for you.


Wouldn't you love to:
  • start feeling good about how you spend your time?
  • feel in control of your time, your calendar and your to-do list?
  • stop frittering away precious hours on activities you don’t enjoy or don’t really add value to your life?
  • let go of worry and stress over your to-do list and really start enjoying life again?

If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then it really is about time to start doing something different.


In It’s About Time you will…
  • learn a fun and simple technique that allows you to understand time in a new way, so you can make better decisions about how to use your time.
  • create space on your calendar for fun and rewarding activities you currently don’t have time for. 
  • learn how delegation and positive procrastination will help you get more done and make room for new activities or relaxation.
  • learn how to use essential time management tools such as calendars, lists and planners and how to select the best system for you.
  • learn how to organize your to-do list(s) so you can keep track of everything you need to get done.
  • learn a simple but powerful time management secret all effective time managers use.
  • learn how to use plans, schedules, checklists and routines to streamline and simplify the items on your to-do list, so you can get your work done efficiently and have more time to play.
  • learn to identify and minimize common time wasters (things you probably do without even realizing they’re frittering away your time.)

At the end of this workshop you will have a series of tools and techniques that will help you make the most of your time. And as a result? You will have more fun, and get more done!

A Plan to Get things done December 20, 2010
Reviewer: A. Williams from IL United States  
This workshop gave me a process to think through my decisions about how I spend my time, and how to use my time management tools better.
Aby has a unique way of conceptualizing concepts and presenting information in a manner that leads to many AHA moments during the class.

Also, the sharing and support offered by the class forums are an added bonus to the class content.
