Once the tasks are prioritized, we need to take care of the schedule and make a to-do list. Task
management will help us avoid forgetting something important, as well as to plan tasks so they
can suit our most productive time of the day.

Entrepreneurship education is based on a wide range of activities which are designed to trigger the
entrepreneurial mindset and to cover the stages of the business ideas’ lifecycle (idea generation,
start-up, growth, innovation and adaptation). When it comes to the content of entrepreneurship
education, there is an academic debate centered on two main theses. According to the first one, it
is not possible to teach entrepreneurship because it is a matter of creativity and personal
characteristics. On the other hand, there are opinions that entrepreneurship should be considered a
professional activity and therefore teachable. Still, entrepreneurship education will be regarded as
a combination between scientific system and creative techniques of entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship education covers a variety of target groups, objectives, content and pedagogical
methods. Taking into account this diversity, one should first identify the objectives and then design
the education process. Overall, the objectives of the entrepreneurship education are to raise
awareness about entrepreneurship as an alternative career path and to increase the understanding
of the business process. As more specific motives could be mentioned the following: to raise
awareness, knowledge and understanding about enterprise/entrepreneurship concept and practice,
to develop individual enterprising/entrepreneurial skills, behaviors and attitudes, to develop
personal self-confidence and capability, to develop empathy with an entrepreneurial way of life,
to embed entrepreneurial values and beliefs, to motivate and inspire students toward an
enterprising or entrepreneurial career or life, to understand venture creation process, to develop
generic entrepreneurial competencies, to develop key business know-how, to develop personal
relationship and networking skills, to prepare for self-employment, to start a new business, etc.
