Guide to the Your Time by BOTTA Principle

Klaus Botta, 01.06.2026

From Being Driven to Designing Your Time

You feel it every day: time is racing, the calendar dictates, the smartphone interrupts. Despite all productivity tricks, the nagging feeling remains that the truly important things are being neglected. Your time belongs to others – just not to yourself.

You become consciously aware of your time. You recognize patterns. You make confident decisions about what deserves your attention – and what does not. You clearly distinguish between what seems urgent and what is truly important. Your time becomes what it was always meant to be: your life.

The Your Time principle accompanies you over 28 weeks with bi-weekly time impulses – not generic advice, but precise thought-provoking ideas tailored to your individual time situation. Four phases guide you from awareness to understanding and ultimately to actively shaping your personal time. We don’t just build watches – we change your perspective on time.
