And what does the person "do"? There's got to be additional context you can provide us, surely?

Draw up a contract for change and improve time/timing

I't's impossible to know how to translate "tiempo" without more context, it could be something totally different to what I suggest

Spanish term (edited): Elaborar un contrato de cambio y mejora de su tiempo

Draw up a (behavior) change contract and increase your productivity

I believe I have found the document you are working on (1st link below, pg 4), and if this is the case, it is not a "to do" list, but rather one of the "course objectives".

I'm pretty sure this is referring to a "(Personal Behavior) Change Contract" (2nd link below), which is used in time management courses the world over. Indeed, I myself have been on one of these courses, which is why it seems familiar to me. In management-speak I would translate "mejora de su tiempo" as "increase your productivity" in English.

Hope this helps.
Peer comment(s):

agree Denise Phelps : Hard to say without more context, but this answer sounds like the most plausible (and natural).

Thanks, Denise. It is hard to say with such little context.
