5 Ways to Control Your Time

(chime music) - Welcome, I'm Chris Croft. I've been teaching time management for nearly 20 years. And all that time I've been trying out the theories and methods that the books teach. Collecting and filtering to find just the best stuff. And now at last I can make this course and record it all just for you. Time management is such an important subject. It won't just change your life, it is your life. Your life is only time and we need to get the most out of it.

I think we all feel that we don't have enough time. But is there really any way to get more time, apart from giving up on sleep. Well yes there is, because although the total amount of time you have is fixed, the amount of useful time is variable. In fact, the amount of time that people spend on important things varies a lot. So in this course, I'm gonna look at how we can get more time for the important things. Which means spending less time on the unimportant things using the only five ways that will then allow you to get more done.

I'll show you how to get a whole extra month per year. And that's not just a month of the usual messy days full of emails and meetings and traffic jams. It's an extra month of pure, uninterrupted time. Along the way I'll explain why buying food isn't important. Having fun is important. I'll confess to some of my psychological issues and we'll even touch on the meaning of life. So let's get started.
