WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THIS COURSE.

This course is a great for you practicing and understanding. It is a better way to manage your time. Nice Course. - Bruno Leal Porto
It's awesome and realistic. - Tejashree Deshmukh
Strong time management boosts your productivity and allows you to achieve more in a shorter period of time. This leads to more free time, which lets you take advantage of learning opportunities, lowers your stress, and helps you focus, which leads to more career success. Each benefit of time management improves another aspect of your life.
It is very easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed by the sheer volume of things you believe you have to get done. It can seem as though other people are effectively controlling you and how you spend that most precious of commodities - your time.
Time is one of the few resources that we all have an equal amount of. Yet we achieve vastly different levels of success with that time. Highly successful people are excellent at time management, developing a clear focus on what success means for them, working to strong priorities and ensuring that they waste no effort or time delivering that success. It's not rocket science, but it does require self discipline.

Thank You - for checking out at my profile.
You're probably wondering why on earth you should take my online courses, or even work with me more directly.
Well, I've had the privilege to have been a learning and development professional for close to 30 years now. In that time I've worked with a very wide range of organisations and people from all walks of life, and many different countries and backgrounds.
My focus is on helping people learn skills, techniques and behaviours that will add practical value in their everyday lives. That's typically in their business and professional lives, yet often the skills and concepts are very applicable to more personal development outside of work. What matters to me is that the learning is not simply just theoretical, but practically applicable. Knowing stuff is good, but we get improved results and personal growth when we actually apply our learning and do something with it. That's where we really add value.

That time management starts with perspective on time and motivation. Towards gaining something or away from losing out. Viewing time as limited for tasks or unlimited for all the things you want to make time for.
By Dahiru Muhammad Dodo on 7/11/2025
This helped me to understand that i need to deliberately make time to do something otherwise i will not do it on time or might end up not doing it at all.
By Gretel Mendez Rabe on 12/20/2024
I learned something very important, find the motivation to complete my task, instead of hanging my tasks for so long since it will stress me more than necessary. Getting my list of tasks completed has to be my motivation to do so.
By Liliana Pereira on 12/3/2024
Not sure if it is because I was always good at time management. But I found it many of the lectures was in the common sense area. However, I did learn a few things and the meaning behind them, the lecture was very clear and informative, especially for those who struggle with time management and priorities.

The volume of the instructor is very low, and sometimes it is challenging to follow. This is the 2nd course of Richard Lock I am attending, and the audio quality was the same. Please keep better audio quality for your courses.
By Jay Kerwin on 12/29/2022
I am learning that I need to gear/shift my thinking towards "I don't have enough time" or "there isn't enough time" to "I have all the time in the world" and prioritizing what is urgent and what can be done after, while effectively communicating this to my group.
By Anna on 9/19/2019
There are lots of practical tips in this course which can help me improve my time management. Somethings I need to practice more and more in work and life. This course is worth to review again and again.
