Course Code/ID: CRS-N-0042334
"Can we manage time? The answer is “No” as our time is fixed. There is no way that we can stretch the time we have to enable us to do more things. So what are we talking when we talk about time management? In this course, we emphasise two key points: managing ourselves and managing the activities in our lives. By picking up the techniques and strategies on managing ourselves and activities, it will help us to reduce stress as we can have more in control of the situation."
“I don’t have time!” How often have we heard these words? We have even said it ourselves. Take a moment and reflect. How often have we wasted our time away without realising it? Thus, a better understanding and awareness of how we spend our time and learning the technique to help us improve our time management would help us to be more focused and spend our time productively. After all, time is a scarce and valuable resource.
