Short answer: Don’t worry.

Long answer: My research team and I have analyzed all the scientific studies we could find on time management. I’m talking about 53,957 participants over more than 4 decades across 6 continents. This is by far the largest study ever done on the topic.

What have we found? First, time management has no correlation with IQ and cognitive ability. You don’t have to be smart to manage your time.

Second, time management has a strong correlation with a personality trait called conscientiousness. Conscientious people want order in their lives and strive to be as reliable as possible. If you are not a conscientious person, don’t worry: this is just a correlation, not a causation. Conscientious people may be naturally inclined to manage their time, but that doesn’t mean unconscientious people can’t get better at time management. In fact, recent studies show that conscientiousness may not be related to the most effective time management strategies. You should also know that individual differences, such as personality, account for only 5% to 20% of how successful people are in achieving their goals. No matter who you are, there is a time management method out there that’s perfect for you.

Third, time management enhances performance and wellbeing. Remarkably, the effect seems to be universal: regardless of your gender, age, ethnic background, education, type of job, or country of origin, time management has a substantial effect on performance and happiness.

So if you’re worrying that time management may not be for you, that is simply not true.

Time management workshops take one day.

For time management courses, each session lasts one hour or less, depending on the content. Q&A sessions are optional and can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes.

All live online lessons and Q&A are recorded on the cloud so you can watch them on your own schedule.

We all have different personality traits, work environments, and living conditions. The goods news is, no matter what you do and who you are, there is always a way to make your life better and healthier through time management.

I have coached physicians, lawyers, stay-at-home moms, entrepreneurs, academics, Chief Marketing Officers, students, hotel managers, freelancers,  stand-up comics, and many more. Some of them worked in very demanding and unusual environments. But they all benefited from my highly flexible and responsive methods.
