If you are struggling with things like effectively planning tasks and having the appropriate skills and techniques to then implement your plan then this course will work wonders for you.

Telltale signs that this course would work well for you include frequent or habitual:
1. Procrastination?
2. Running late?
3. Overscheduling yourself?
4. Being forced to rush jobs to hit deadlines as you are behind?
5. Lacking genuine control of your workload?

Conversely, if you find that you are able to spend the majority of your time focused on your most important tasks then you are probably already managing your time well.

Yes, we do. We offer 6 months of post-course support.

During this period if you are struggling to implement the time management techniques that we cover let us know and we’ll get your trainer to make contact.

Depending on what the issue is we may offer email or phone support, whichever we feel will provide you with the best experience and support your use of the techniques and tools that we teach you best.

Our time management training is highly personalised. We don’t take the cookie cutter approach that many other time management courses do.

Learning effective time management tools and techniques is only half of the battle. The key is then to look at how you can implement those tools and techniques in your own particular situation.

For some people effective delegation will offer a useful solution for others other techniques (learning to deal with disruptions for example) will a more effective time management solution.

Good time management skills will make sure that you’re using your time effectively.

Other things being equal, using your time more effectively will allow you to deliver:

1. Higher quality work: You’ll spend more time on your key priorities.
2. More timely work: You’ll be planning more clearly and effectively.
3. More creative work: Reducing your stress levels will allow you to be more creative.
4. Better work relationships: Feeling in control of your time will naturally make you more relaxed.
5. Strategic solutions: Not feeling rushed naturally encourages you to think more long term.

Time is irreplaceable. Almost all resources (like money) can be replaced but once a portion of time is gone it’s gone.

Given that many people argue that time is the most valuable resource you have (rightly!) and argue that you need to plan and use it effectively.

Effective time management naturally leads you to be:

1. Focused: If you’re not focused you’re wasting your time.
2. Organised: In order to manage your time efficiently you have to be organised.
3. Long-term: Good time management encourages the investment of small amounts of time upfront to save much larger amounts in future. This is the essence of long-term thinking.

The four D’s of time management is a very well established time management technique.

This technique involves assessing all of your outstanding tasks and putting them into one of four D categories.

The four D’s of time management are:

1. 1. Do: Important, urgent, only you can do. You should do these things as soon as possible.
   2. Defer: Important, not urgent, only you can do. Do not do these today but plan for when you will do them as they’re important.
   3. Delegate: Important and others can do. You should pass this task to someone else to complete.
   4. Delete: Not important. Some tasks are not worth completing. For these simply delete them.

Although it relates to low-level tasks the last point ‘Delete’ is often what people find the most difficult. It goes against our training to be thorough and detailed oriented. Remember you’re not simply not doing the task and so being lazy. You’re doing the hard work of making sure that you’re using your time well and going to use that time for more important things.

When delegating a task you should do this to the least experienced person capable of completing the task. This will stretch them and help with their personal development.
