TIME MANAGEMENT

If you have ever had to meet deadlines in your job, then you will know about the importance of time management and the implications on your working environment if you do not plan ahead. Not using effective time management can have a dramatic effect on how you work and how efficiently you complete your tasks - so it's important to get it right. The following page will highlight a few key areas on how to implement time management into your working day.

It starts with YOU: Awareness of managing yourself

It is important to remember that it is not actually possible to manage time. We have to implement time management by organising ourselves and by taking a close look at the way we work so it can be improved. It is advisable with time management to set yourself clear goals and get yourself into a certain routine that will maximise the time you have, rather than trying to hit unrealistic targets.

Deficiency in time management usually happens as a result of poor planning or a lack of training, and can create bad work relationships within an office environment. If there is bad time management resulting in piles of unopened mail on your desk for example, then it is not only you who will become frustrated and have their working environment disrupted. A simple way of sorting out this problem would be to think about time management and establish a system of sorting your mail so it is prioritised and easier to tackle.

Time Management skills from Sales Training International

Now we have established some of the causes of inefficient time management and some of the ways of tackling a lack of planning, we can look at how a course from Sales Training International can give you the specific skills to deal with these sorts of time management issues.

A time management course from Sales Training International can enable you to manage yourself more effectively within your own time constraints. By firstly learning to identify your time management problems you can then see areas that affect the productivity of your tasks and decide how they can be managed more efficiently. It will be part of your time management course, to analyse situations that can hinder performance and identify techniques to overcome them. Time management can be passed on to your colleagues and team mates, so being able to explain the importance of time management, planning and controlling meetings will be useful skills to take away from your training.

Time management course self assessment

During the time management course it will be an important factor to ask yourself: 'how much is your time worth?' and 'how much time could you save?' by using an effective time management strategy. You must also consider during this course, the elements of your personality which may aid or hinder your implementation of time management in your work environment. A key element to this is to assimilate assertive behaviour and learning to say 'no' when it is required. If you are taking on too much work, then this will not end up working in your favour, if you have set yourself up to tackle an impossible workload. Finally, it is up to you to realise that having good time management could be the difference between success and failure - promotion or stagnation.

Time management - Keeping your management happy

A situation may arise where you need to apply time management skills to time which isn't technically "yours" i.e. your boss needs to be flexible with deadlines and schedules. With this time management, you should look at the demands and responsibilities of your boss and see how you can help them have better time management so that their working day can be less stressful, while also helping you to help them more efficiently.

It is logical that you will be able to get more things done if you implement a time management plan, establish a routine and then stick to this as far as possible. However, you must be aware that time management flexibility can be a blessing, and allows you to be adaptable so as to cope with unexpected tasks or hurdles. Flexible time management is also good for reducing your own stress levels, because if you are only used to sticking to a set plan, when things don't go as expected (as they inevitably do at times) it will cause you as much stress as if you hadn't planned at all!
