Course Code: DCU039

2 x half day sessions which will take place on 03rd April (Part 1) and 10th April (Part 2) at 10:00 am until 12:30 pm on both days

Aims of this course: 

Does your “to do” list seem to get longer as the day proceeds? Do you quickly run out of time to complete key tasks? Do you find yourself jumping from one task to another, scrambling to meet various deadlines? In every sphere of working life, be that academic or professional, maximising the use of your time is fundamental to success.

At the end of this course, you will be able to: 

• prioritise important things in your work and not just the urgent things
• plan and organise your activities to reduce fire-fighting and stress and stay ahead of deadlines
• understand how different personality types steal your time
• take responsibility for managing interruptions and interactions
• understand how you really spend your time, as opposed to how you think you use your time
• understand the real issues instead of the perceived problems
• use a time management balance sheet to allocate your time effectively 
• define your top priorities and how you will protect your time to ensure these activities will be completed.
