Description
"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand."
Old Aphorism
Everyone needs to deal with incoming “stuff” on a daily basis, whether they are mails, emails, calls, information packs, messages, your own thoughts or even random events like the breakdown of your car. We need to deal with a collection of unrelated stuff at work and at home using only “one” mind. If you increase your efficiency in dealing with these, you stand to gain enormously.
Many systems exits and numerous productivity books and courses attempt to impose one system or other to their audience. These systems prove to be effective at first, but seem to get forgotten over time and people fall back to their bad habits once more. Over time, as more systems are learned and tested, a sense of hopeless develops that no matter what time management system is used, the result is never good.
Our Approach
At Skills Converged, we deliver the Time Management course continuously and we have realised that imposing any particular system on delegates does not necessarily lead to increased productivity. As a result, we have tailored this course to make it as effective as possible not just in the short term, but also in the long term.
To achieve this, the course focuses on fundamental principles, guidelines, attitudes and organisation systems. Based on these principles and examples of such systems, delegates form their own system based on their own life style. In our experience, this has proven to be much more effective and even months after the course, our delegates report that they have become more productive as a result of this course. We are proud of this and continuously work to improve this course.
In this day-long highly practical course delegates will learn:
