Course Description
Many professionals feel overwhelmed by the pressure of work, and always seem to be working with a massive backlog of overdue projects. In Effective Time Management, we discuss how to prioritize your work, simplify tasks, increase the efficiency of routine activities, and offload less-critical work to others. Topics covered include time blocking, planning for the unplannable, setting objectives, dealing with interruptions, how to say no, and much more. Incorporating these improvements into your life should result in a better focus on what really matters, resulting in more effective use of your time.
