Managing Time, Priorities and Projects

 

Who Should Attend this Seminar:  This class is designed for people who need to develop a time management/organization system that works for them.

 

Seminar Summary

Myers Briggs tells us that two thirds of the population attend time management classes on a regular basis.  And yet these folks remain unorganized and victims of their own time.  This class explores why traditional time management methods do not work for some of us.  Several self assessment tools are used to help the student learn about how they collect and process information.  Once we understand self, the class explores different methods to organize and maximize the use of time.  This class is not a typical time management class that attempts to force the student into a mold of “efficiency”.  This class helps the student develop a time management/organizational system that is unique to them.
