🇪🇸 Erasmus+ Training Course in Spain ⏰ Time Tamer: Beat Procrastination and Master Your Time ✅

Do you constantly say "I'll do it tomorrow"? Maybe it is time to tame your time. Time Tamer is an Erasmus+ Training Course (part of KA210) that brings together 40 young people from across Europe to explore the causes of procrastination and develop practical strategies for improving productivity, self-discipline and time management.

Project Background

Procrastination has become one of the most common challenges among young people, affecting their academic performance, productivity, well-being and personal development. Factors such as stress, anxiety, perfectionism, poor time management and constant digital distractions often lead to delaying important tasks, creating a cycle of avoidance and reduced motivation. The Time Tamer project was created to address these challenges by raising awareness of procrastination and equipping young people with practical tools to improve time management, self-discipline, focus and productivity. Through non-formal education and international cooperation, the project empowers participants to build healthier habits and take greater control of their personal and professional lives.

About the Project

Time Tamer is a training bringing together 40 young people to explore the causes of procrastination and develop practical strategies for improving productivity, self-discipline and time management. Through engaging non-formal education methods, participants will discover how small daily habits and digital distractions influence their ability to achieve personal, academic and professional goals. During the training, participants will take part in interactive workshops, simulations, role-plays, team challenges and practical activities focused on goal setting, effective planning, motivation and overcoming procrastination. By the end of the project, participants will leave with practical tools, greater self-awareness and an international network that will inspire them to make better use of their most valuable resource, time.

Before the Training Starts

Before meeting in person, all selected participants will take part in two engaging online trainings designed to help everyone get to know each other, understand the project, and start developing practical skills before the in-person training begins.

🖥️ Online Training 1: "Breaking the Procrastination Cycle" (24 to 25 August 2026)

🖥️ Online Training 2: "Beat the Clock, Beat the Stress" (07 to 08 September 2026)

These sessions help you break the ice and feel comfortable from day one, discover the project topic through interactive activities, get exclusive tips and prepare for the international training, and start your learning journey before the mobility even begins. The project is based on non-formal education, where learning happens through experience rather than traditional lectures, using interactive workshops, simulations, teamwork, reflection and practical activities in a safe and engaging environment.
