Time Management
Course Objectives
Our popular Time Management programme is a fast-paced, challenging one-day course designed to help you maintain a firm grip on your schedule. Time Management is not just about goal-setting and writing to-do lists. We provide proven tools and techniques you can put into practice immediately. You will learn how to identify and protect high-value activities and delegate tasks or projects of lesser importance. You will learn how to develop an effective program for setting goals, monitoring progress, and eliminating interruptions. Managing diaries, desks, telephone calls, email and travel are all covered and we will also help you develop the crucial 'people-handling' skills required to prevent others stealing your time.
