Effective Time, Task & Work Planning

OBJECTIVES:

Do you feel pressured by too much to do and too little time in which to do it? Or do you simply want to get more things done? Both of these situations suggest a need for better time management.

Time, like any other resource, can be managed by a set of principles and a variety of techniques. This course will lead you through an analysis of your time management problems and present to you principles and techniques you can use to become master of your time rather than a slave to it.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course will help you become a better manager of your time. However, it will not manage your time for you. That is left to you.
