The Self-Management Challenge

What

Flexibility and autonomy are important topics for virtually all generations. To work independently of time and place.

There is a difference between the generations, for example Millennials need flexibility to grow in their careers. Being able to develop gives them energy and this reduces stress. The younger generation Z wants more freedom to keep their lives in balance.

Flexibility and autonomy are positive, however also require the ability to manage yourself. Managing yourself is the “ability to spend your core assets Energy and Time in the most optimal way.”

Why

Mastering your energy and time makes you happier (Fun) and more productive (Focus). This makes it arguably the most critical skill for success in today’s world.

We often overestimate our self-management abilities. In reality, it’s a challenging skill, especially in our increasingly complex and distracting world.

When we fall short – experiencing low fun and poor focus – it can lead to work-related issues like stress, disengagement, and even burnout.

How

Current trends in the workplace reveal shortcomings in traditional methods for improving self-management capabilities.

One reason is that most methods lack a data-driven approach. As Lord Kelvin explained: “if you want to improve you need to measure“.

Another reason is that a holistic approach is needed. You need to manage both energy and time as one package.
