COURSE SUMMARY
Time is money, the saying goes, and lots of it gets lost in disorganisation and disruption. We also deal with a constant barrage of technology, people, and tasks that can contribute to that disorganisation. Many people find that they flit from one task to another, trying to get everything done. In this course you will learn how to make the most of your time by getting a grip on your workflow and office space, using your planner effectively, and delegating some of your work to other people.

The Power of a Change
To begin, participants will use their pre-assignment to identify areas where they want to change their time management approach. They will also have an opportunity to write out a bucket list, which will help them identify long-term goals.
Changing Our Perspective
Next, participants will explore four priorities that we find to be most neglected: connecting with people, paperwork, reading, and exercise. Then, participants will apply their knowledge to a case study.
Setting Goals
During this session, participants will learn how to set goals with SPIRIT to help them manage their time better.
Planning Tips and Tricks
This session will explore different planning tools and their uses.
Setting up a Routine
To wrap up the morning, participants will discuss how routines can help them manage their time.
Doing it Right
Sometimes we need to approach things with a bit of attitude in order to get things done, and do them well. We’re recommending to be a bit playful with this, and to be BOLD.
Putting an End to Procrastination
This session will give participants some ways to tackle those tasks that they have been putting off.
Getting Organised
This session will give participants a plan to organise their work area.
Organising Your Files
During this session, participants will explore ways to manage paper and electronic files, including e-mail.
Managing Your Workload
To wrap up the day, participants will help Mary Marvellous manage her workload. Then, they will complete a 168-hour plan to see where their time is being used up.
