Time Management – 1 day course

Time management has been in existence for more than 100 years. Unfortunately the term “Time management” creates a false impression of what a person is able to do. Time can’t be managed, time is uncontrollable, we can only manage ourselves and our use of time.

Time management is actually self management. Its interesting that the skills we need to manage others are the same skills we need to manage ourselves: the ability to plan, delegate, organise, direct and control.

Time management is a crucial factor in work and our time management courses are created to ensure that delegates can make their time keeping as efficient and effective as possible. We do this by supplying a time management training course that is full of tools and tips for improving time management, time planning, delegation, organisation and management strategies as well as handling and using time effectively. Our time management course will cover subjects such as goal setting, improving organisation skills and managing time successfully.

Who will benefit from the course

Our training seminars enable candidates to understand the processes which will make them more effective whilst minimising the “Thieves of Time” which plague our personal productivity and sense of achievement. The course will enable delegates to:

  • Manage priorities
  • Increase work effectiveness and productivity
  • Enjoy a more balanced lifestyle
  • Feel more in control of their daily activities
  • Reduce the stress which results from a lack of effective time planning

Anyone who needs to master the principles and practices of effective time management. From senior managers/directors to administrative and technical staff, in fact anyone who needs to find solutions to the following challenges:

  • I don’t always feel in control
  • I need to increase my productivity
  • I have to juggle a multitude of tasks
  • I’m always being interrupted
  • I’d love to have more time for the things I enjoy but never get the time

Course objectives

Delegates will learn skills which will improve planning, assertiveness, setting priorities, decision making, desk and paper management, and communication skills. They will have the skills to manage their priorities; manage themselves to get things done on time; be assertive with colleagues and managers and learn how to say ‘no’; gain sufficient time to complete their most important tasks; effective daily planning; prioritise and schedule tasks; learn to allocate time to each task in its order of priority; deal with interruptions and make effective decisions which affect your time positively.
