Self and Time Management

An Event in the GraduateCenter^LMU Lecture Series "Kurz & bündig"

You worked the whole week, but you don't feel like having made any significant progress? You do so many things in parallel, but your dissertation has been stuck for weeks? You want to be more efficient? You think you waste time on less important tasks? This event helps to overcome these issues.

There is no such thing as a general gold standard for a successful time management. Instead, it is a highly individual job to compose one's own perfect time management system. Therefore, participants will first learn to assess their personal self and time management challenges because accurate knowledge about the exact nature of these challenges is crucial for the selection of adequate tools to overcome them. Second, participants will get an overview of useful self and time management tools. Third, participants will get the chance to work out their individual implementation plans.

Topics:

• Understanding the essential difference between three types of challenges to productivity
• Clarifying values, goals, and priorities to be able to choose the right tasks
• Planning tasks properly with appropriate tools
• Selecting time management tools individually and planning implementation in own life

Language of event: English

Target group: Doctoral candidates of LMU Munich (the number of participants is limited)
