Time Management Essentials

Description

If your days fill up and the important work still slips, this course gives you a method for finding out why. You’ll start with four core practices of time management and learn to spot the less obvious signs that time is being poorly used. Then you’ll track and analyze a week or more of your own time.

The last lesson gives seven tips for managing your time at work. It is built around an example of an employee who works longer and longer hours and still falls behind, and it shows what he could do differently.

What you’ll be able to do

• Apply four core practices: analyzing your time, prioritizing, setting goals and scheduling
• Recognize four less obvious signs of poor time management
• Track how you spend your working time for a week or longer
• Use your tracking results to decide where to change how you spend your time
