By: Time Mgmt Expert When it comes to time management and time management courses, the paradox is often that those who need them the most are those who are interested in them the least. Until the instances of missing deadlines, meetings and other important events snowball and come to a head to cause pain and loss whether financial or personal, people rarely give a thought about time management systems and processes. Time management and productivity books abound in local bookstores, and for those who prefer digital formats, there are even more of them on the internet. For those who are already in the habit of working efficiently and are constantly looking for way to improve their efficiency and save time, these may be enough. For those whose problems with procrastination, distraction and inability to finish what they start are severe enough to be taking their toll, a time management course might be a better idea for the following reasons: 1. Structure. It is true that books present their information in a structured, organized manner. How the reader receives and digests this information, however may not be as systematic and organized as the author intends. Often, a reader will just skim over the book, take out the parts that he or she feels is important, then promptly forget about the matter entirely.

Books allow the student all the information in a single sitting, allowing the reader access to everything at once. Many of the procrastinators I have worked with have a tendency to skim through all the information at a fast pace, thinking they are saving time in the process, and then forget all about them. Courses, on the other hand, divide the information into single, simple concepts in at time-single concepts that students can easily focus on, and thus are retained easily and last longer. The most effective time management courses break down these concepts into actionable steps that can be easily implemented and integrated into daily life. 3. Involvement. A person reading a book will always have lower involvement than a person taking a course. Without involvement, chances are slim that changes can take place, no matter how much information is given. Effective time management courses are structured in a way that enable or even force their students to think of the specific concepts in terms of their personal experience. This fast tracks the process of evaluating the problem (taking stock) identifying what changes need to be made, and committing to those changes.
