Editor's Notes

  • #6 What Is Time Management? Compare The Clock And The CompassAsk the participants to come up with ideas on what the clock and compass mean in their livesAfter their responses introduce the following discussionIn his book: First Things First, Stephen Covey argues that how we think about time can be characterized by the metaphors: clock and compass. The clock represents the activities, the appointments and the tasks that fill up our day.The compass represents the importance that tasks take on and the direction that we want our lives to take."The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass – when what we do, doesn’t contribute to what is most important in our lives."
  • #13 Icebreaker - energiser
  • #15 The facilitator must encourage participants to write their own activity log.It is important that they must write a log of the tasks that they performThe following slides may be used as an example to illustrate this activity
