Time Management = Effectiveness and Work-Life Balance (Engl.)

Seminar Topics (2 days):

• Changing Work Environments: Work from home, hybrid work environments, and back to the offices (= latest trend)
• Work-Life Balance and Work-Life Fusion: Monitoring one's inner resources, recognizing stress factors, taking responsibility for self-care to avoid burnout  
• Increasing Effectiveness: 7 habits of highly effective people (Stephen Covey)
• Time Management Principles and Techniques: Pareto Principle, Eisenhower Principle, importance and urgency, Parkinson's Rule, etc.
• Self-Organization: Prioritizing, planning your day, accomplishing goals
• Self-Reflection: Sources of disruption and time traps, becoming aware of personal vulnerabilities (e.g. procrastination, self-blockades, perfectionism, inability to say "no")
• Self-Motivation: Strategies to overcome procrastination, strengthen self-motivation, and adjust to frequently changing environments 
• Collaboration with others: Communicating effectively, making clear agreements, avoiding misunderstandings 
• Workplace Organization: Avoiding external sources of disruption, structuring your time, traditional and paperless environments, standards for filing systems, creating and installing new work routines, making use of AI (Chat GPT), etc.

In addition to introducing both classic and modern time management techniques, the seminar explores how to successfully adapt to frequently changing work environments— without experiencing feelings of losing control or frustration. A key focus is on taking personal responsibility for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Furthermore, we discuss and work through strategies for self-motivation, achieving goals, setting priorities, letting go of unnecessary burdens, gaining time, reducing stress, overcoming procrastination, and ultimately becoming more satisfied with oneself and one’s life.
