COURSE LEADER: Gavin Meikle BSc. Head of Learning, Inter-Activ

Who is this time management training designed for?

Staff and managers at all levels who face the challenge of delivering on objectives with limited resources and whilst being faced with an increasing number of demands on their time.

What is it about?

Making the best use of your time is a key work and life skill which many people struggle with. We are faced with competing demands, shorter deadlines and a multitude of interruptions which can easily "steal" our precious time.

This one day interactive workshop has been specifically designed to help you develop the time management habits you need to make the best use of your time. There is no one size fit's all solution so Gavin will demonstrate a range of practical tools, systems and techniques to help you agree priorities, manage your workload, track tasks, reduce interruptions, stay on top of your email and delegate more effectively.

• Prioritise better so that you complete more high priority tasks done on time
• Create a "Not todo list" to free up time for the important things
• Implement simple yet effective task management systems so that you never forget what needs to be done
• Reduce the impact of human & technological "time stealers" so you can get more done without working late
• Overcome unhelpful procrastination so that you improve work quality and reduce personal stress
• Improve your ability to delegate, freeing up time for priority tasks that only you can do
