Time Management

General
How often have you not got around to doing things at work that turned out to be quite important - probably because you thought you didn't have time? Managing time effectively involves both having a clear understanding of exactly what you need to do and applying simple techniques to insight about how you work most effectively. This workshop looks at ways to define precisely your roles and tasks and explores ways in which these can be managed most effectively, in the time available to you. This session will be of benefit to anyone who feels they could be more effective ... if only you had time to look at how.

Course Contents
The workshop will use guided exercises, presentations and discussions to enable participants to use their own work situations to cover:

  • Clarifying roles and tasks
  • Personal effectiveness - identifying our own preferences and style
  • Priority setting and timescales
  • Techniques of time management

Participants will discover how to plan effectively within their own work situation, how to use creatively their own awareness of how they work best and learn some basic techniques of time management.
