Join us for the December edition of the IPWS Thought Activator:

The Trouble with Time Management – You can do anything, but not everything.

• The average person gets interrupted every 8 minutes, creating 3 hours of wasted time per day.
• 20% of the average workday is spent on “crucial” things, while 80% is spent on things that have “little value”.
• A person with a cluttered desk spends 1,5 hours per day being distracted or looking for things.
• Productivity drops as much as 40% when trying to multitask and do two or more things at once.
• In the last 20 years, working time has increased by 15% and leisure time has decreased by 33%.

Whether you are an executive, a mother, an entrepreneur, a student, or all of this at the same time, you only have 24 hours in a day. You will always also have more things to do than you have time for. Making time for your commitments is obviously key, but what is urgent in your life and what is important to your life are often two very different things.

How can we be productive and manage our time to live healthier and happier, do the things that we know are important, and still handle the responsibilities that are urgent?

Join us in a discussion around this seemingly eternal, yet in today’s world increasingly important problem with Time Management together with one of Asia’s leading productivity experts, Cyrille Jégu. Cyrille helps individuals, teams and organizations close the gap between what they would like to do and what actually gets done by introducing new ways of thinking, new ways of doing, finding your focus, and much, much more.

IPWS Thought Activator is a monthly series that connects people through meaningful conversations. The aim is to help you expand your network and more effectively make valuable connections by taking part in an informal, guided activity. Each event is centered around a specific theme, which attendees will reflect over in smaller groups, making it easy to get to know one another while gaining insight and perspective.

The themes for Thought Activator events range from topics that are too often not given the recognition or attention they deserve, to issues that are old and familiar, but in need of a fresh perspective. During the event, our Activator of the Month will introduce and share their expertise on the topic of the evening. Following the short presentation, attendees are encouraged to reflect on related questions, while networking throughout the evening.
