If you feel out of control or that your day-to-day work doesn’t leave anytime for your key projects this would be an ideal course for you.
It is very useful if, prior to the course, you could keep a time diary for a week or so. This will simply contain the tasks that you have spent your workdays carrying out and also note any particular issues that came up.
This is not vital but participants on previous training courses have found the course materials and activities have had more impact where they have managed to do this.

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

All you need to do is print it out and follow it through step-by-step.
