Today's episode is the 8th and last of the series on time and priorities management.

The goal of the series was to help you effectively prioritize and adopt consistent time management strategies. I will expand on these strategies but they include:

• Learning to reconcile time management with that of your personal or professional environment
• Identifying your strengths and weaknesses and build a time management strategy adapted to your personality
• Optimizing time and energy management
• Maintaining and increase your credibility and control in managing demands and priorities.

Today I want to talk about the root of all derailments : the unexpected.

In Agile project management, we call it “unplanned work”. Work that takes away resources from what was planned. And we try to mitigate the impact of these interruptions by planning provisions for it.

Life works the same way: however hard we try to manage our time, it always throws curveballs at us. So today I’ll give us ideas to help manage these curveballs and continue forward towards our goals.

Main Points:

• Four skills to manage the unexpected – 1:10
• Saying no – 3:15
