Strategic Time Management

Training Applications

Setting priorities and managing time effectively is basic to managing individual and organizational performance. The pressure to find innovative ways to achieve goals, pay attention to the competition, respond quickly to customer needs, and enjoy life outside of work is even more intense in today's less structured, information-driven workplace. Meeting the daily challenge of managing professional and personal responsibilities requires a learning strategy designed to meet individual needs.

Time Management Resource

The Time Management Training is a unique tool that provides people with a complete, self-directed assessment of their current time management effectiveness. Learners then use the built-in guides as a frame work to develop customized strategies for skills improvement in 10 key areas:

1. Attitudes

Time is a paradox. We never seem to have enough time, yet we have all the time there is. The problem is not a shortage of time, but how we choose to use the time available to us. Analyze your time management attitude and learn more effective attitudes.

2. Goals

It's not how much we do, but what we get done that counts most. Learn how to develop clear goals, and then focus on the activities that will achieve them.

3. Priorities

Learn how to set priorities so you can spend more time doing important tasks that contribute to your goals, instead of responding to the urgency of day-to-day things.

4. Analyzing

Time flies! The trouble is that most of us don't really know where our time goes. Here's the truth: no one can really master their time use until they know how they spend their time now. By taking the assessment in this workbook you will analyze your time habits. This is the first step to awareness and progress in time management.

5. Planning

Everyone admits that planning is important, but few actually spend as much time planning as they should. Many claim they don't have time to plan. Planning is a habit that you can learn. Learn how to master the habit of planning.

6. Scheduling

Many people use the terms planning and scheduling interchangeable. Actually, they refer to two different activities. Planning is deciding what to do. Scheduling is deciding when to do it. Learn scheduling strategies that work.

7. Interruptions

Many people are frustrated by interruptions. However, interruptions may be a normal part of your job. Learn how to avoid being frustrated and allow enough time in your schedule for unexpected, uncontrollable events.

8. Delegation

For most of us, delegation involves a dilemma. We must keep what we want to give up ? the responsibility ? and we must give up what we want to keep ? the authority.

9. Procrastination

More plans go astray, more dreams go unfulfilled, and more time is wasted by procrastination than by any other single factor. Learn how to conquer procrastination.

10. Time Teamwork

No one works in a vacuum, and no one gets much done alone. Learn how to combine the joint effort of many people working together in a team to achieve a common goal.

The Time Management Training also helps people to more effectively use planners, calendars, PDA's, and other time-management tools to accomplish more and find greater balance in their daily lives.
