This document summarizes key points from a time management presentation, including:
- Different generations of time management approaches from simple reminders to advanced planning and prioritization.
- The importance of distinguishing between urgent/important vs. trivial tasks using the Eisenhower matrix.
- The challenge of finding time for spiritual development ("SQ" or spiritual intelligence) amid busy schedules.
- Filling our time based on priorities from biggest commitments ("big rocks") to smaller tasks.
- Views from Vedas and Bhagavad Gita that the purpose of human life is self-realization and devotional service to God.
Selling your ideas is challenging. First, you must get your listeners to agree with you in principle. Then, you must move them to action. Use the Dale Carnegie Training® Evidence – Action – Benefit formula, and you will deliver a motivational, action-oriented presentation.
Open your presentation with an attention-getting incident. Choose an incident your audience relates to. The incidence is the evidence that supports the action and proves the benefit. Beginning with a motivational incident prepares your audience for the action step that follows.
