Time Management

Overview

Getting 'more results with less effort' is a goal we often hear people aspiring to. More often than not however, these same people never seem to have enough time! This course explores the fundamental reasons behind this and introduces a number of tools & techniques that can be applied back in the workplace in an effort to 'work smarter not harder'.

Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• identify the common time wasters and develop strategies for dealing with them
• develop a personal strategy for coping with work demands
• turn meetings into valuable events rather than practical alternatives to work
• identify the activities that are key to your success
• appreciate the value of delegation

To support the achievement of the above, you will have the opportunity to practise and develop your practical skills using a number of small group, paired and individual exercises. You will also be encouraged to develop a personal action plan to support your continued learning back in the workplace.
