Win the Game of Time Management

There is an opportunity today for individuals to prove themselves reliable in the workplace and to rise above the challenges of a broken productivity system.

Learning the skills and strategy of time management will give you a competitive advantage in your career. 

A Good Schedule Creates More Freedom

Having boundaries and “blocks” around your time will create a more liberating and enjoyable schedule.

The truth is, we are all spending the entire 24 hours in our day. One way or another, that time is going somewhere.

You know this. I know this. We all know it... And yet we still forget about it.

When you are strategic and smart about those hours, then you get to fill them with all the best things for you.

But if not, someone or something else will fill up those hours for you instead.

It’s your choice: proactive or reactive.

In our simplified time management course we teach you how to be smarter with your time.

After taking this course...

You'll deeply understand this simplified approach to time management that is both easy and repeatable.

Time Management Simplified

1. Track It

Have you outgrown your schedule but don't even realize it?

We'll walk you through the step-by-step process for how to track your time so you can assess where you are at right now.

2. Block It

Your to-do list should be on your calendar (something we'll explain in the course).

And likewise, anything that is important to you should be scheduled — including time for resting, having fun, and being present with your loved ones.

3. Enjoy It

The whole point of all this is to build a schedule that you enjoy. Because when you don't have what we call Schedule-Value Fit, then life can feel frustrating and stressful.

Finding That Schedule-Value Fit

Hello! I'm Shawn Blanc. Founder of The Sweet Setup.

I've been writing app reviews and tutorials for over a decade, and in that time The Sweet Setup has become a go-to site for in-depth app research. That's why our site is visited by hundreds of thousands of readers every month.

Over 18,000 folks have been through our online courses. And our work has been featured by and referenced in sites such as The New York Times, Forbes, LifeHacker, The Wirecutter, Inc., MacStories, Entrepreneur, MacSparky,and more.

Since we began in 2013, we have published hundreds of app reviews and picks. And we've served thousands of customers with our courses on productivity...

If there is one thing we have learned, it's that one of the greatest challenges our readers are facing is related to managing their time.

That's why we created this simplified time management course. It focuses on just the essentials; the foundational things you've just got to know in order to really get a good foundation for managing your time better.

We made this course to help you save time, get more focus in your day, and spend your time on things you want.

Simply Effective

If there is one thing that you do not want in your day it's what we call Dual Focus.

Complicated and fussy approaches to task and time management often just result in stress, frustration, and people ditching the whole system for a sticky note anyway.

That's why, in our simple time management course, we show you how to plan your day using a simple and easy approach. By using “time blocks” you will be amazed at how easily you can create more focused attention for your day. Which, in turn, creates more liberty to do the things that you care about most.

This course will help you control the hours of your day and make sure you are spending your time on the things that are important and that truly matter.
