Managing your time effectively

In the last few years the world of work, particularly in the third sector, has gone crazy.  Everyone wants more for less. Funding gets cut. Staff who leave aren’t replaced. But you are still expected to deliver the same quality of work, and often more of it.

What will I get out of it?
You will  be introduced and start to use different tools and techniques that will help you manage your work time more effectively and become more productive.

Who is it for?
Anyone who is feeling overloaded at work, finding it almost impossible to meet deadlines, or working late nights or weekends to stay on top.

Course content
 The workshop addresses the everyday distractions and demands on our working lives, and outlines techniques to help ensure you achieve key tasks on time every time.
  • Using time pressures creatively to make the most of what you have got, using systems, checklists, deadlines to your advantage
  • Making time pay: Using the 80/20 rule to get maximum return on your time and achieve your key objectives every month
  • Getting focused: techniques to keep on track and avoid distractions and simplifying
