Course Description

Time  is linear, the clock always ticks. And our relationship with it dates from the moment we were born. Now our relationship with Time, especially as managers, has reached a point where we are not satisfied anymore... always need more, running out of it... Yet Time won't change its behavior in the relationship. Therefore it is our perception, use, optimization of it that needs to shift. Shifting life-long perceptions and biases, habits is not an easy task. In this course, we will explore 4 concepts to start and engage in this mental transition, to send you on a transformative journey.

These concepts may challenge how you perceive time, how you perceive your job, your task prioritization. And that is OK. We need to be challenges to grow and change our perceptions and our habits.

In the 4 concepts mentioned above we will challenge the To Do list and migrate that to a To Achieve list, which will shift time from a Constraint to a Resource. We will challenge your perception of your role and function in your organization to support this transition. We will discuss the Important vs Urgent matrix in this new light, and we will put a few twists to the 80-20 rule and its application on Time.

Welcome on the Journey!

Thought provoking, well paced delivery (albeit a little slow in places), good use of exercises, and enjoyable.

By Linda V. on 10/29/2024

This course was amazing! The concept of To Achieve is much more positive and motivating than a never ending list of To Do. This was also the first time using the Urgent/Important Matrix really opened up the possibility of meeting personal, team and company goals and I love the 80/20 breakdown. I want to put all these practices into place and share them with my team members as well. Thank you instructor Audet!

Different perception of looking at time management.

By Jerome Landry on 3/6/2023

This capsule was very refreshing in putting time management in perspective. The current paradigm dictates that time is a constraint for achievement a (close to) unlimited number of tasks. By focusing on achievements, sustainability, prioritisation and efficiency, Francis helps us re-imagine time as a ressource. Very good and very compact lesson, I certainly recommend it to any managers out there feeling overwhelmed.

By Josette Suys on 2/6/2023

Oui il répond à mes attentes . J'étais déjà depuis un certain temps , en réflexion sur le comment mieux gérer mon temps afin de pouvoir m'offrir plus de temps de qualité et de me sentir moins coincée dans certaines situations i.e. moins à la course ! Savoir profiter , jouir de ce moment et non pas courir en espérant avoir le temps de TOUT exécuter ! Éviter l' essoufflement ! Donc pour moi , éviter le superflu .....

By Éric Dorion on 2/4/2023

The author tackles a difficult subject in this course. That alone takes courage. Many interesting questions are raised that open a field of self inquiry and potential self improvement. If I would have liked to see more links made to the past and current lines of thought on time management at large, I am grateful I have managed to set time aside to learn about and reflect on the perspectives proposed by the author.

By Loic Marchand on 1/23/2023

It's a new approach to time management. It used to be about priorities, calendar stuff, etc. It wasn't helpful. Now I really understand what a manager can do with time, and how to apply it to my life and work. And we can do a lot, I feel liberated and ready to approach managing my team in a new way. Thank you.
