WHO IS THE KIT FOR ?

Goal setting, organisation and time management skills are universal in nature and are required by virtually everyone working at any level of the organisation.

WHY WAS THE KIT DEVELOPED ?

Of course the phrase 'time management' is nonsense. We can't manage time. There are 60 minutes in every hour, 24 hours in every day. There's nothing we can do to change that.

What we can do is help people to become better organised, clearer about their work and personal goals, and better able to use available time to work towards those goals.

We can also teach people to be more aware of how their own personality or preferences can result in ineffective time management. Some people, for example, have a high need to be liked, or to be in control, or to have contact with other people, or enjoy crises and emergencies. Consequently, they invest a lot of time and energy in getting these needs met, rather than working towards operational goals.

While helping our clients to be more organised and effective, we found that they needed two kinds of assistance. First they need some simple techniques- the traditional skills of time management. In addition they need to increase their awareness of those internal, psychological, time wasters that distract from the really important goals and objectives.

This material was developed to help people to recognise and work on internal time wasters and develop a range of techniques that will make them more focussed and effective at work.

OBJECTIVES

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

• Identify priority goals activities in their business and personal lives.
• Use a range of simple techniques that will help them become more effective in the way they organise their work time.
• Identify internal causes of ineffective time management and plan to eliminate them.
• Identify personal characteristics and styles that may result in using time effectively or ineffectively.
