Better Time and Energy Management (Postponed)

Better Time and Energy Management

Learn how to manage your time and energy more effectively and produce better results.

Being busy isn’t the same as being effective

In fact, the opposite is often closer to the truth. Ever wonder how some people manage to control their day and still get things accomplished? Then there are those who seem constantly busy, but less productive. Work smarter. Not harder.

Better Time and Energy Management is a hands-on program that helps you prioritize, plan and perform tasks, and meet deadlines without getting burned out in the process. This session helps to turn your workdays from mundane busy work into more productive outcomes. You’ll learn work- life integration strategies built around four time management competencies—the four Ps: People, Priorities, Procrastination and Productivity.

Purpose

Better Time and Energy Management will help you:

• Leverage your energy to accomplish better work in less time;
• Feel more confident about managing your time;
• Recognize the signs of unproductive time management and learn how to interrupt and deal with procrastination;
• Integrate practical checks and productive controls into your work day;
• Understand how the five Ps—Planning, Priorities, People, Procrastination and Productivity can impact your time management and become best practices;
• Know what productive rituals will help you manage your time and energy more effectively for better results; and
• Know how to use the Time Management Decision Grid and Time in a Bottle tool
