Managing your Time

Universities continually seek efficiency gains and one way they do so is to minimise their payroll and increase the responsibilities of their remaining staff.  As a consequence we are required to be more efficient and to use our time more productively.

Objectives
How effectively managers use their time depends largely on their ability to plan, organise and prioritise activities.  This one day seminar addresses the common time-management problems and gives some proven and highly practical tips for solving them.

Content
•           common “time eaters”
•           identifying problems and possible solutions
•           setting priorities and personal planning
•           delegation – a structured approach
•           maintenance and progress tasks
•           personal action plans

The day will be lively and inter-active with a mix of presentations, syndicate exercises, group discussion and a training video.
