We know that workloads are growing and we need to learn to work more efficiently if we are to cope - it is no longer a case of simply adding resource. We also know that we all have the same number of hours in a day.

However, the first thing to recognise is that we cannot control time - only what we do with it! Furthermore, in a typical day there are some things that occur which are outside of our control, which we cannot do anything about, but which still have an affect on our time management. The only thing in these situations is to change our attitude towards them, as we will only cause unnecessary stress otherwise.

So good time management is more about personal working habits, and applying the various tips available to those situations where we have some influence or control.

Our coaching recommends considering three steps: -

• Clarify what you should be doing
• Evaluate where your time is actually going now
• Practice better working habits using specific tips

Structure:

This is a 2-hour programme held on your site for a group of up to 18 delegates.

 

Topics Include:

The need for change The changing context in which we work Personal challenges Reducing fire-fighting Avoiding the "It's quicker to do it myself" trap Turn out work less than the desired standard Leaving work with more on your to do list than when you started Fixing everyone else's problems, but no time to deal with your priorities Losing track of your responsibilities and goals in the pile of things to do Recognising there is not enough hours in the day Feeling you are letting people down

Team not thinking for themselves Getting bogged down in the day-to-day stuff No time for sport, hobbies, leisure activities or keeping fit Constant interruptions No time to think Too many Emails Neglecting important work Big projects waiting on the sidelines Not spending enough time with your people, coaching and guiding them Juggling personal and business priorities Time logging tools that work and don't work Commitment to specific improvement
