Course Overview

Our one-day Time Management workshop is available both in the classroom and online through Face-to-Face Live Online Learning sessions. We have adjusted the course content slightly for online delivery — please select your preferred delivery method below for the correct course outline.

 

This one-day course will consist of a couple of live online sessions with independent work in between.

The course has recently been updated in line with the latest ideas and time management techniques so that you have more time for the things you really want to do.

What you will learn

  • To identify what you already do well and what you could do differently
  • To prioritise: strategies for deciding what will give you the biggest return at work and at home
  • The importance of taking time to reflect
  • Tips for working with telephone calls and handling email like a millionaire
  • How to have more productive meetings
  • The importance of valuing yourself and how to say no
  • Tips for delegation
  • Dan Pink’s ‘When?’ Are you a lark, an owl or a third bird?
  • How to work with procrastination

Themes covered

  • Principles of time management
  • Identifying your values and priorities
  • How to decide what is urgent/not urgent, important/not important
  • Barriers to time management
  • Assertiveness as a tool of time management
  • Working on your preferred strategies for dealing with competing demands

Our approach to online delivery

The learning will be through a combination of interactive workshops delivered live through Zoom and self-guided assignments over the day.

You should reserve out 10am to 4:30pm in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. We believe immersing yourself in the content for a whole day will create deep learning and lasting impact.

All learners will need to install Zoom on their machines. Full technical requirements are on the Zoom website. Your link will be included in your joining instructions once you have booked your place — if you haven't received this email then please contact our team.

You should reserve out 10am to 4.30pm in your diary for the learning. This will allow you to join the interactive workshops and have time to reflect and do the assignments in between. We believe immersing yourself in the content for a whole day will create deep learning and lasting impact. 

Learners should log into the training session 10 minutes before the start time to ensure that they have downloaded and set up Zoom correctly. The course will start precisely on time and it may not be possible to go back over material missed by late arrivals.

Your active participation is expected: everyone will be heard and seen throughout, just as they would be if we were in a room together. To be heard, hear and seen you will need a microphone, speakers and camera — if you have a modern laptop that’s all you will need. Remember, you’ll need a quiet place to call from and a decent internet connection is a must.
