7 Cups Academy Time Management Course
Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. Through our academy surveys and general community interactions, we have identified that most people feel like they can benefit from some form of time management training. The challenge with most time management techniques is that they do not train you to reflect on what really is important and schedule it in a sustainable way. We have found a book that deals with time management as part of your whole interrelated life and is in sync with your principles. I am talking about First Things First, a book by Stephen Covey and comes highly recommended by @GlenM
We have created a course based on the book. We have summarized the book and converted it into a growth path and quiz. Here is how you can take part!
Step 1: Complete the first things first growth path
Step 2: Implement the teachings of the growth path for a minimum of one week. You will need the practical application to pass the practical part of the quiz.
Step 3: Revise the path content before completing the quiz. You can skip this part if you feel confident to pass without the revision.
Step 4: Submit the time management course quiz.
Step 5: Let us know that you have completed the steps here!
The quiz will be processed within a week. All who successfully complete it by scoring at least 17/20 in theory and submitting practical components will receive a certificate and a badge.
Note: If you intend to use Artificial Intelligence tools to help you fulfill any of the course’s requirements, you are expected to adhere to our AI policy. You can read it here.
@Hope done!!

Time management is an essential skill in our day-to-day life which should be taught everyone in schools, workplaces, as a part of activities on a weekend - almost anywhere and everywhere. Glad to come across a course and the book recommended by @GlenM

Great work Alexia! Is it okay for me to ask some questions about your experience with it?
@StrawberryShaken Sure! Happy to help in whatever way I can!

Thanks!
I'm new to this path and was introduced to the urgency/importance quadrants image. I'm having a hard time coming up with examples for each quadrant - I'm someone who thinks that everything is urgent and important all at once 😳. I'm unemployed right now and don't have a lot of obligations outside of self care and housework. I would put my most recent flare-up in the urgent/important quadrant because that prevents me from going out. So it's a "pressing issue" to handle my pain before any other tasks... But when it comes to stuff like, calls and emails, I have a harder time prioritizing them. Right now I've been procrastinating on scheduling an x-ray appointment (urgent, important?) but instead I've been responding to some blogs and newsletters' surveys (not urgent, but important-ish to me because it's people I respect and would like to hear from). Also, I tend to overdo housework as "more important" than it may really be, which leads to more flare-ups if I get something really clean and organized instead of resting or asking for help..
Do you have any suggestions or guidelines when deciding what quadrant to place an activity in?
I don't mind it's taking part is important.
