Epilogue

Congratulations. You’ve reached the end of the Time Management module.

Considering typical learners are very busy people in today’s world, we thank you for your time and diligence in taking all the lessons.

So, what now?

Firstly, we recommend you revisit the lessons in this module – if not all, then at least the ones that you found the most value in. We learn through repetition. If you revisit the lesson videos while the topics are fresh in your mind, it is bound to have a strong learning impact.

In particular, we recommend you revisit the very first lesson – a self-reflection piece titled ‘Are You in Control of Your Schedules?’. See how far you’ve come in terms of learning new strategies since you first took it.

Second, practice, practice, practice. The more you apply the time management techniques in this module, the better you will get at them – no doubt about it.

Finally – and this is important – expect to fail sometimes. As time progresses and the gap between you and when you last took this module increases, you will lapse into your old habits – urgency addiction or being a hamster on the wheel. That’s fine, as long as you catch yourself doing it and get back to using the techniques as soon as you can. It might be helpful to set alerts and reminders on your online scheduling tool – to revisit concepts you learned and reflect and reassess your life and productivity goals masterplan. Remember, time management is a habit, but you can’t set yourself on auto-pilot with it. It requires consciously choosing to outrun the urgent and using the right tools to schedule your days to your chronotype strengths.

We are confident that armed with all this new learning and awareness, you will discover numerous ways to create more value for your employer and find true accomplishment with the time you have. In the end, that’s all that matters – and it’s all up to you.

For now, please take the accompanying quiz. Just Kidding – there’s no quiz!

Thanks again. And good luck with everything!
