This time management course is designed for people who want to improve managing themselves, and their time. Planning and organizing your work are a vital skill to productivity. Setting priorities and delegating where appropriate is crucial to performance. The time management course provides tools for effective time management for yourself, whether you are a team member or team leader. You will learn how to plan, prioritize and be organized. You will also be able to set realistic goals integrated with your personal goals and company goals.
Time management training courses most often begin with setting goals. These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. Activities are then rated based on urgency and importance, priorities assigned, and deadlines set. This process results in a plan with a task list or calendar of activities. Routine and recurring tasks are often given less focus to free time to work on tasks that contribute to important goals. This entire process is supported by a skill set that should include personal motivation, delegation skills, organization tools, and crisis management. We’ll cover all this and more during this course.
