Time Management Workshop

Stehle Associates
London, United Kingdom

Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online/Live | On-site/In-house | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' Most of us feel that there are just too few hours in the day and wish that we could get on top of the paperwork and have a clean start in the morning. The incentive is there, but somehow it never seems to work out the way we hope.

Whatever plans we make seem always to be confounded by interruptions, by changes to priorities and the sheer difficulty of getting started. By rushing from task to task we do not have the time or opportunity to plan, and so we end up never improving the situation.

Who should attend:

This workshop is aimed at people who have some discretion as to how they use time. It is particularly helpful for anyone who is struggling with priorities, knows that they could be so much more effective and really productive if only they were more organised, or just want to feel they are achieving something rather than pushing paper around.

Prerequisites:

There are no prerequisites for attending this course but participants will be requested to conduct a small amount of pre-work.

What you will learn:

The workshop provides an opportunity to reflect on current working practices and how they can be improved. It looks at simple but practical techniques that can apply to all aspects of our lives.

On successful completion of the course, attendees will be able to:

Establish effective priorities so as to manage your time more effectively and efficiently
Apply a daily planning approach to make best use of time
Avoid time wasters and procrastination
You will achieve these by following recommended processes and by ’thinking’ about how you ought to use your time and how you actually use it at the moment.
