Managing Time and Increasing Work Efficiency

Overview

Have you been feeling that 24 hours is not enough in a day?
Have you been too busy replying to emails, juggling with multiple projects, endless meetings and non-stop phone calls at work?
 
Getting the most out of 24 hour a day seems to be a constant challenge because ‘time flies’. 
The good news is ‘You’re the Pilot’. You can be in control of your time by managing it effectively.  So Work Smarter, Not Harder.
 
This 2 day intensive Time Management activity-based  workshop will help you pinpoint causes of procrastination and indecision, detect personal time-wasters and increase your concentration and focus. 
 
You’ll learn to schedule your time more effectively, stay on track and keep important goals top of mind, so you can stay in balance and be more effective and productive in the right state of mind.
In this practical based workshop, we will also show you how successful people allocate their time and how you too can replicate the success of the most efficient people. 
 
You will be shown a range of time management tools and techniques so that you can consider which ones are appropriate for you while practise using them in a fun and supportive environment.
 
By the end of the workshop, we hope you gain at least an extra 2 hours out of your busy schedule to enjoy some relaxing moments.
