For a long time we have been looking forward at the Short Course Entrepreneurship + Time Management at the Universidad de Nebríja in Madrid. This course, across 3 days, took place at their campus in the city centre (La Princesa) and was followed mainly by students that already are part of the Entrepreneurs Club or studying one of the Degrees or Master Courses at Nebríja.
The first two days were focused on Entrepreneurship and the last day was all about Time Management for students and entrepreneurs.
Both topics truly interested the students which was proven by the way they paid attendance and participated in the lessons. There truly was a lot of interaction and students were seen taking notes throughout the sessions.
The first session was at a ‘regular classroom’, for the second and third Level’s Olmo (and the students) was treated to a larger room that used to be a library. ‘’It adds so much atmosphere, vibes and joy to teaching when you are at a place that inspires you. I could feel it and so did the students.’’
The Manager of the Master program Marketing Management, Álvaro Rodriguez, was our main point of contact and he explained us about the Entrepreneurs Club at Nebríja. We hope that students realise how lucky they are with such masterclasses, company visits, accessibility to a mentor-network and other activities that are being organised. These 3 days were amazing and has taught us a lot as well. The main lesson learned, in regards to the Time Management session, is that the Eisenhower Model does not really work for students, as the parameter Importance does not really apply (it does for group-work but for all individual tasks it’s less relevant). The Urgency certainly does apply and we were happy to have inspired some students but there are other ways as well to determine priorities across your to-do list.
