Time Management

Course Overview

Maximising the use of our time is a constant challenge in our busy world: the distraction of email; meeting after meeting; uncompleted lists of things to be done. Too much to do and not enough time to do it is a common problem many people face in the workplace. Although we can’t give you more hours in the day, we can teach you how to decide what to do and when to do it. This training program explains the fundamentals of time management: understanding the value of time, using proven ways to get the most out of a day, balancing work and home and eliminating time wasters.
