Time

Management
Azubuike Ezenwoke | PhD
@ TMC411 Class – November 2, 2021
Time
 The “Ether” between
– Goals and its Realization
– Dreams and its Accomplishment
– Seed and Harvest
 The greatest opportunity for Value Creation
– The Real Fuel of Value Production
 The Constant Factor in all Accomplishments
 The Air that sustains the life of activities on the earth
 Nothing can exist without Time…in the beginning…
True Millionaires…

 David Oyedepo Once said, “Nobody has One


Million Hours of Productive Engagement on
Earth”
– 1 Day = 24 Hours
– 1 Year (365 days) = 8760 Hours
– 100 Years = 876, 000 Hours
• Less time for sleep, etc.
The “10,000 Hour” Rule
 The actual cost for all
accomplishments is TIME
– Malcom Gladwell repeatedly refers
to the “10 000-hour rule” in his book
Outliers asserting that the key to
achieving true expertise in any skill
is simply a matter of practicing,
albeit in the correct way, for at
least 10, 000 hours.
• About 416 Days
Importance of Time Management

 TIME MANAGEMENT is a major


determinant of One’s Life Exploit
– Measured by
• The Volume of Value Generated
• The Magnitude of Influence or Impact
Excerpts from DeepWork
 Deep Work
– Professional activities
performed in a state of
distraction-free concentration
that push your cognitive
capabilities to their limit.
– These efforts create new value,
improve your skill, and are hard
to replicate.
Excerpts from DeepWork
 Swallow Work 
– Non-cognitively demanding,
logistical-style tasks, often
performed while distracted.
– These efforts tend to not create
much new value in the world and
are easy to replicate
 Deep work is necessary to wring
every last drop of value out of your
current intellectual capacity
Scriptural Time Management Philosophy

 Ecclesiastes  3:1,11,17
– To Every Thing there is a Season,
and a Time to every Purpose
under the heaven…He has made
everything beautiful in its time…
for there is a time there for every
Purpose and for every Work
Time Management Dimensions
 Discernment of Seasons
– A bracket of Life, an era
• David Oyedepo’s Life Seasons [20 – 60]
– Appointment Occasion (Genesis 8:22)
– Should direct Clocks/Calendar activities
 Management of Clocks and Calendars
– Measurable, Moments and schedules
• The Now’s and When’s
– Effectiveness in this positively affects Seasons
A Continuous Cycle

Genesis 8:22 1 Chronicles 12:32


While the earth From Issachar, men
remains, Seedtime who understood the
and harvest, Cold times and knew
and heat, Winter what Israel should
Season
Clock
and summer, And do: 200 chiefs with
day and night Shall all their kinsmen at
not cease their command.
Time Stealers
 Time-abundance Illusion
– Time is Equal yet Scarce
• You can only be 20 Once.
 Pseudo-Leisure and Entertainment
– Once the brain has become accustomed to on-
demand distraction it´s hard [but possible] to
shake the addiction.
 Unrestrained Technology Use
Time Management Perspectives

 Use Technology like a craftsman uses a tool


– If it supports your craft, then use it.
– Identify the main factors that determine success
for your professional and personal life and adopt a
tool only if the positives outweigh the negatives.
Digital Minimalism | Cal Newport

“A philosophy of technology use


in which you focus your online time on
a small number of carefully selected
and optimized activities that strongly
support things you value, and then
happily miss out on everything else”
Time Management Perspectives

The Thomas and Ezra Story
 Ezra and Thomas joined a company together a
few months after their graduation from
university.
 After a few years of work, their Manager
promoted Ezra to a position of Senior Sales
Manager, but Thomas remained in his entry level
Junior Sales Officer position.
Thomas and Ezra Story
 Thomas developed a sense of jealousy and
disgruntlement but continued working anyway.
 One day Thomas felt that he could not work with
Ezra anymore.
 He wrote his resignation letter, but before he
submitted it to the Manager,
– he complained that Management did not value hard
working staff but promoted only the favoured!
Thomas and Ezra Story

 The Manager knew that Ezra worked very hard for the
years he had spent at the company; even harder than
Thomas and therefore he deserved the promotion.
 So in order to help Thomas to realize this, the
Manager gave Thomas a task.
– “Go and find out if anyone is selling watermelons in
town?”
 Thomas returned and said, "Yes there is someone!"
Thomas and Ezra Story
 The Manager asked, "How much per kg?" Thomas drove
back to town to ask and then returned to inform the
Manager; "they are N100.00 per kg!"
 The Manager told Thomas,
– "I will give Ezra the same task that I gave you. Please pay
close attention to his response!"
 So the Manager said to Ezra, in the presence of
Thomas:
– “Go and find out if anyone is selling watermelons in town?”
Thomas and Ezra Story
 Ezra went to find out and on his return he said:
– Manager, there is only one person selling watermelons
in the whole town.
– The cost is N500.00 each watermelon and N300,00 for
a half melon.
– He sells them at N100.00 per kg when sliced. He has in
his stock 93 melons, each one weighing about 7kg.
– He has a farm and can supply us with melons for the
next 4 months at a rate of 102 melons per day at
N350.00 per melon; this includes delivery.
Thomas and Ezra Story
– The melons appear fresh and red with good quality, and
they taste better than the ones we sold last year.
– He has his own slicing machine and is willing to slice for
us free of charge.
– We need to strike a deal with him before 10am
tomorrow and we will be sure of beating last year's
profits in melons by over N2,300,000.00.
– This will contribute positively to our overall performance
as it will add a minimum of 8.78% to our current overall
sales target.
Thomas and Ezra Story

– I have put this information down in writing and is


available on spreadsheet.
– Please let me know if you need it as I can send it
to you in fifteen minutes."
 Thomas was very impressed and realized the
difference between himself and Ezra.
 He decided not to resign but to learn from Ezra.
