Why take this course?

Nobody has enough time in the busy-busy, 24-hour, non-stop world of TikTok, smartphones, and latte in a cardboard cup.

  • Yet you want to do more

  • You want to achieve better things

  • You want to get more out of the time you have: you wish there were more hours in the day.


Practical Time Management cannot give you more time
But it can show you how to use the time you have to the greatest effect!


  • Make the most of your time by avoiding the time-wasting and morale-sapping habits that rob you of your most valuable asset... time.

  • Prioritize your time effectively, and how to use a powerful four-step process that gets things done.

  • A host of tools and techniques from the established expert on getting things done – the author of the best-selling Brilliant Time Management.

  • Set yourself up to succeed, manage the stresses of a busy diary, and find that productive space to think clearly and do quality work.

  • Make focused use of your day and how to deal with the interruptions that rob you of productive time.


Practical Time Management will give you the low-down on time management, explaining clearly the essential roles of goal setting, scheduling, delegation, and personal motivation.

And you will learn about the multi-tasking fallacy - how the Elephant and the Octopus have different solutions to awesome productivity.


PRACTICAL Time Management

Practical Time Management is not about fancy systems and sophisticated technology: it is about the reality of how to be productive in a busy life.

How much you get done depends on you. Practical Time Management highlights the unhelpful habits you have gotten into and how they waste the most precious commodity you have.

If you want to make the most of your time, then this could well be the most valuable three hours ever.


Practical Time Management: if you want to
DO MORE, GET MORE, LIVE MORE.

It is based on Mike's best-selling three-hour live seminar and contains nearly two and a half hours of video, and a wealth of templates for you to download and adapt to your work.

This course is packed with extremely useful tips for getting better at using time. I recommend it highly to anyone feeling overloaded or overwhelmed with tasks in their workplace or even in their personal life.

I am new to this topic and I find this course very useful as a first intro to time management. I definitely want to learn more about this (thanks for the resources!). Short feedback: It would have been nice to have more practical examples about the OATS principle, i.e. what good and bad outcomes/activities look like (both in the everyday and working life).

I can relate to the Present, Past and Future state of mind. I tend to have a positive past reference but get stuck in the present situation and do not finish tasks on time.

I am typically overwhelmed and sometimes overloaded. It has been a good course, and worth the time to view it. Parts of the course I found useful: OATS Principle, Important and Urgent, Powerhouse loop, How to clear a backlog of work, and Overload and Overwhelm. The reason I only gave 4 stars out of five is some of the practicality of implementing what he says may or may not work for me.

I learned a wealth of time management concepts which is helping me a lot with my time estimation. That said, I will definitely rewatch some section at a later time. I highly recommend the course. It's informative and straight to the point.

Well researched and presented. Helpful acronyms were used but I would still like to see the concepts in this course further simplified, so they are easy to remember.

Dr Mike Clayton’s course “Practical Time Management: Do more, Get more, Live More was brilliant. I originally took it to improve what I do with my time. However, before I was halfway through - though I was making better use of my time - I was also looking at things that I needed to stop doing that I shouldn’t have been doing at all. This is Not a One & Done kind of course… but I highly recommend it. In fact I liked it so much I quit shaving!

This course gives you lots of different time management ideas, not only the familiar ones you find in most courses on this subject. I recently followed Mike's suggestion on how to make dull activities interesting, and it was very helpful - not only did I finally tackle an important and long postponed job, but I enjoyed it more than I would have thought possible. A really good course.
