Last week’s you were introduced to the idea that you can can enhance resilience through improving your time and personal organisation skills. These skills were highlighted by ensuring that your behaviour reflects what you value and cared about. This week, you will look at time and personal organisation skills by exploring how you go about your work to ensure that it is done in the most efficient way possible. The famous American author Mark Twain once said that you should eat a live frog in the morning and then you won’t have to do anything so unpleasant for the rest of the day. Of course Mark Twain was not literally referring to eating a frog but emphasising the view that doing things you find difficult is easler first thing in the morning. This advice and many other tactics have been discussed in the time management literature as ways to enhance your behaviour in managing your time and personal organisation. This week you will explore strategies to enhance your skills in managing your time – how to do what you have to do more efficiently. You will also examine two common problems facing many people in dealing with demands on their time: the tendency to put off doing what you should be doing (i.e. procrastination) and the desire to do things perfectly (i.e. perfectionism). Finally, you will recap the course and apply the lessons to make changes to your behaviour to help build resilience.
