1.5 hours away from the
desk to learn new skills or
build on existing knowledge
This session is equally useful to those who have little or
no time-management training as well as those who may
have done something similar in the past.
Learning time management happens both in a training
session and at the desk so taking time out to brush up
on skills, being reminded of techniques that really work
and committing to putting techniques in place back at
the work station is important.
Time tracking, “take 5”, the 80/20 rule, bundling, “Do-
not-disturb”, peaks & troughs, blocking…which
technique/s will be right for you and help you get
everything done in the right order?
