Mastering Time Management: A Skills Workshop

"For ten years researchers studied the behavior of busy managers in nearly a dozen large companies. Their findings on managerial behavior showed that fully 90% of managers squander their time in all sorts of ineffective activities. In other words, a mere 10% of managers spend their time in a committed, purposeful, and reflective manner."

- Dr. Helke Bruch and Dr. Sumantra Ghoshal, Harvard Business Review, 2/2002

It is true that we all face challenges that have the potential to divert time, energy and other resources away from our pursuit of our most important goals, but it is rarely an issue of simply running out of time. Instead, the real problem is that we allow too many interruptions and distractions to hijack our valuable time, leaving us with less time to devote to the things that are truly important

Time is the ONLY resource that is distributed to everyone in equal measure. Everyone in the whole world has the exact same 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 52 weeks a year to work with. No matter what your race, color, creed, economic status, or pay grade at work, your have just the same time status as everyone else. So, when it comes to time management, in the final analysis, it is your decisions, not your circumstances, that will determine how successfully you manage your time in order to achieve your most valuable goals.
