Time Management

It's 5 o'clock and its decision time. You've done a good day's work and yet there's more to do before going home. What do you do?

You should stay another hour or two and finish what's left of the in-tray, or that outstanding report, or all those other jobs you have been meaning to get round to. Does staying late mean you are loyal, showing commitment, and earning your pay? Or does it mean you are inefficient, poor at prioritising, and that you got caught up in the latest crisis?

On the other hand, you could leave work now and get home at reasonable time. If you leave, are you a clock-watcher, not a team player and look like you are skiving? Or are you highly organised, focussed on the important tasks, and can balance the demands of work and home - an example to us all?

With the time management course we look at your personal and business priorities, setting up your professional and business goals. We look at how much time we have and how we spend our time at work and at home. Armed with that information we look at time planning. Using a diary or note pages you learn how to plan your time effectively. Scheduling time slots for various activities that you need to do on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis in order to achieve your goals.

"We look at saying 'no' rather than letting everyone pile their work on you. This includes how to say no to your boss!"

The course looks at procrastination, what it is and what individuals can do to stop it. We look at the various weapons we can use to help us start now such as the humble elastic band. We look at saying 'no' rather than letting everyone pile their work on you. This includes how to say no to your boss!

Much of our time can be managed better if we look at our use of paperwork and how it seems to take over our desks even though we are in the paperless society. Why is it the phone has such an urgency that we simply have to answer it? What about that daily or weekly meeting, that eats into yet more of the time? All of these issues will be identified and relevant hints and tips given on how to deal with them.

This course is aimed at every individual in all business environments. No matter how long you've been working I can guarantee you will learn something!
