Time - Your Most Precious Commodity 

With Paula Mathews of HR Compliance 101

This time management workshop is about harnessing the power of your most precious commodity. Business and nonprofit leaders alike tend to lose track of time when they focused on working in their business or organization. This laser-focus and “getting into the zone” is one of the critical elements of time management.

Working with some productivity tools, this workshop will teach you how much can get done, in as little as 3 – 5 minute increments. This is going to be an interactive session on how to manage both the work-related and non-work-related tasks that make up our lives, how to prioritize them, how to schedule them, and how to get them DONE.

Remember: Plan the Work and then Work the Plan, Planning is sometimes easy. Execution...not so much. Much like backgammon, the techniques of time management are easy to learn, but take a lifetime to master. Begin your journey with us today.

 Five Time Management Tips

  1. Use a timer, set the time you need to spend on a to-do item, and focus ONLY on that task until the timer goes off.
  2. Keep meticulous track of how you spend your time for at least a two-week period; once you know how you spend your time, you’ll have a better idea of how to budget your time. 
  3. Assign a time, as well as an amount of time, for each to-do item. 
  4. Break up big projects into manageable pieces; normally in one or two-hour increments. 
  5. Schedule only 80% of your available time.
