Overview: |
| Time Management is a misnomer. Individuals need to effectively organise ‘themselves’ within a given time period so as to gain greater productivity and stress minimisation. The New Horizons Time Management Program teaches participants the fundamentals of time management.
Participants will learn how to evaluate the use of time, identify goals and set priorities, develop an overall time management plan, discuss the Pareto principle, assign a price to time, conduct a time audit, and correctly identify and control poor time management personality types. The issues that might impede this process will be identified and participants will be given strategies to deal with those obstacles. Program activities also cover managing their time to increase their productivity, developing a daily plan, managing technology, and saying "no" to doing too much. Participants will also learn how to handle e-mail, the Internet, the telephone, personal interactions, and paperwork to productively use their time.
