Owning Your Time

Are your days packed with meetings and obligations, yet the things that matter most keep getting pushed to “later”?

Owning Your Time: Practical Tools to Reshape your Relationship with Time is an online course that treats time as a leadership practice and an expression of your core values. Rather than squeezing more productivity from your day, you’ll learn to extract more meaning from the time you have.

Through daily reflections, intention setting, and strategic reframing, you’ll transform mandatory responsibilities into purposeful choices and reclaim agency over how you experience your time.

Arranged in four self-paced online modules accompanied by brief reflections, this course is designed to be completed in 11 days or spread flexibly over a 3-week timeframe.

Consider signing up as a team to change how your organization values their time.

Learning Objectives

Led by Matt Andrews, this course transforms how people experience and think about time, even when they cannot immediately transform how they spend it.

1

Clarify your values

Clarify what and who you value and assess how your current use of time aligns with those priorities.

2

Value-aligned time use

Apply simple, repeatable practices like daily intentions and brief reflections help make small, consistent shifts toward more value aligned time use.

3

Reduce stress

Reframe key responsibility tasks to increase perceived agency so that even constrained time feels more purposeful.

“I now meet time with awareness instead of anxiety, with choice instead of compulsion. It feels less like a current pulling me under.”

“The process of daily reflections and action-orientated exercises helped me to establish new rituals that have led me to feel more in control of my time.”
