Time Management

Time Management

• Are you working flat out daily, only to find out that you still didn’t get done as much as you wanted?

• Do you sometimes wish you were more organised?

• Have you ever forgotten someone’s birthday or anniversary?

• Do you envy those with busy lives who still manage to achieve so much?

• Would you like to reduce your stress levels?

• Have you thought that work-life balance might actually help you to increase your productivity?

• Would it help you to learn how to say ‘no’ to more work and not feel guilty?

• Does the concept of ‘time management‘ make you laugh?

It would probably be a safe bet that most of us could answer ‘yes’ to one or more of those questions? I hold my hands up and admit that occasionally work seems to get on top of me. I also know that I tend to get stressed when I seem to have more to do than there is time available.

You may have felt the same way at times.

But did you know that a few positive and simple adjustments in your working habits can have a major impact on your productivity and stress levels?

So here’s a thought – we all have the same number of hours available to us every day, so how is it that some people seem to get loads done and others slave away like mad and never seem to get very far.

The difference is a ‘systemised and structured approach to personal organisation’.

Some people call this ‘time-management‘ but really it’s more about ‘self-management’.

It’s not possible to manage time; no matter what you do we are all blessed with the same number of hours each day. However, you can ‘manage yourself’.

It’s what you do and how you do it within those hours that makes up the difference between productive and unproductive (and most likely unstressed and highly stressed).

Over the last few years I’ve learned many tools and techniques for becoming more organised and far more productive and I’ve delivered this to private clients with great affect on their self-management. I use these tools myself and now get more done that I’ve ever achieved, even though I’m busier than I’ve ever been. Not only that but all of my clients have experienced much less stress because they feel far more in control of their work and lives.

So here’s a spot of good news: I can help you learn that time management isn’t something that just happens to those who have staff to help out. Give me the chance and I’ll help you realise that nearly all of these skills can be learned, and that you can apply them to your own work and life.

But it doesn’t end there. Apart from the tools and techniques to help you to get more done and reduce your stress levels, I’ll also help you work on your own action plan to become more organised and focused. So you’ll be able to apply that action plan as soon as you get back to work.
