130005 Time Management

Target student
The typical students of this course will be managers, supervisors, or team leaders who need to learn how to implement time management within their organization.

Course objectives
You should share these overall course objectives with your students at the beginning of the day. This will give the students an idea about what to expect, and will also help you identify students who might be misplaced. Students are considered misplaced when they lack the prerequisite knowledge or when they already know most of the subject matter to be covered.

After completing this course, students will know how to:

  • Identify the benefits of time management, evaluate productivity, and identify goals and set priorities.
  • Develop time management plans by identifying goals, creating daily plans, and recognizing obstacles.
  • Use technology to save time instead of wasting time; and maintain a reasonable workload by saying “no.”
  • Increase productivity by controlling interruptions and meetings, and recognizing factors that adversely affect productivity.
  • Avoid information overload by identifying causes, screening information, controlling paperwork, and using a filing system to organize your office; and communicate effectively.
