Today’s professional can be pulled in many directions, making staying focused a challenge. The way we spend our time determines what we get out of life and, more important, how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. The key to time management is knowing what we want most out of life and ensuring that consistent action toward our goals occurs.

What tends to get in the way are all the opportunities we have to do activities that have nothing to do with what we want most. We will learn in this session how to take control of the direction in which we are headed. In addition, we will discover exciting new ways to stay on track, minimise distractions, and eliminate time wasters.

Managing time can be looked at in two key perspectives—personal and systemic. We must look at the personal side of managing our time as well as the systems and processes we
utilise. This program will look at what is possible for us to do through our own actions and the processes we can put in place to more efficiently get results through others. What we will not
cover is the myriad of calendars, planners, and electronic systems designed to self-manage. There are too many of these systems to cover and personal preference plays a big part in selecting the right system for each individual..

• To better manage ourselves in respect to time
