Time Management

The subject of time management is used to summarize the topics, concepts, methods and tools that allow time to be used consciously. Therefore, the terms self-management and time-related skills are sometimes used synonymously. Obviously, this is a very practice-oriented topic. In order to adequately address this at a university, our courses use in particular concepts as practical-normative systems of statements with the practical aim of design.

The thematic starting points are complex and include, for example:

• Criteria and design questions for the formulation of goals
• Motivation aspects depending on the level of requirements
• the phenomenon of unintended blindness from applied cognitive psychology
• Influencing factors, limits and effects of multitasking
• setting priorities according to the Pareto principle
• Questions of efficiency and effectiveness
• the multi-dimensionality of decision-making based on the Eisenhower principle
• Task delegation options depending on individual characteristics
• the relevance of goal-oriented project management in general
• Process mapping through event-driven process chains
• the temporal analysis of extensive projects with network plans
• Aspects of chronobiology and chronotypes
• Results of economic happiness research
• Measures to prevent stress
• Factors influencing mental resilience
• the need for goal-oriented conflict management
• Dimensions of electronic communication skills
