Session Opening: Time Management Lab

The Hook (The Friday Feeling)

“Imagine it’s 5:00 PM on a Friday and your ‘to-do’ list is empty. Today, we build the system to make that real.”

Learning Objectives

  • Create a ‘Priority Filter’.
  • Develop a 15-minute planning habit.
  • Master the ‘Professional No’.

Participation Expectations

Expect a hands-on ‘lab’ environment. Phones face down, honesty about distractions, and active peer discussion.

Facilitator Controls

Engagement: “Raise your hand if you’ve crossed off a task you did hours ago just to feel productive.”

Attention Reset: “Back to the front in 3… 2… 1. Thank you.”

Low-Energy Backup

The ‘Energy Audit’ stand-up activity to physically engage the room.

Transition

“Let’s look at the first leak in our schedule: The Myth of Multitasking.”

Progress recorded. Prepare for the next module.
