ACTIVITY:HOW DO YOU CURRENTLY APPROACH MANAGING YOUR TIME?
On your own (5 minutes) :Recall a time when your time management went wrong … Remember examples of when you have managed your timereally well …
Compare the two examples. What do you notice that isdifferent/similar? What else do you notice?
In a small group, share your findings. Produce a poster
summarising what you have found out about thedifference between good and bad time management.

Using tools, tips and processes to producegood work habits.
The golden rule:Concentrate on results – what you areachieving - not merely being busy!
1. Avoiding the „time -stealers‟
2. The 80:20 rule
3. Using a systematic process

ACTIVITY:THE ‘TIME-STEALERS’
Individually, think quickly back over the last few days.
Be honest with yourself! What have been your biggest 3 „time -stealers‟ – the things you have chosenor allowed to interrupt you/ distract you/ waste your time from things you should have been doing ..
Take 3 Post-Its. Write each time-stealer (one or two word
description) on a separate Post-It, together with anestimated %age of time lost.

TIPS1. Emails - check only three times a day – maximum!
2. Block time daily in your schedule as “contingency time”.
3. Telephone - When working to a deadline, switch phone off orschedule times to pick up messages.
4. Say no - It is often acceptable to say “NO” to requests assertively
if not important - “ I’m working against a very tight deadline onan important project right now, so I am sorry, but I cannot helpon this occasion.”
5. Stand up – indicate you only have 10 mins and stick to it.
6. Internet – set times (alarms) and stick to them.
7. Other ….?

“If we don‟t have a clear idea of what is important, of the results we desire in our lives, we are easilydiverted into responding to the urgent”

Overcoming „procrastination‟
Ensures that you make progress with the difficult, importanttasks
Brian Tracy talks about „Eat that Frog‟ and the ABCDEmethodDo the worst first
A = very important, MUST do, consequences if not done (thefrogs)B = should do it, but milder consequences (tadpoles)C = nice to do, but no effect on workD = can be delegatedE = eliminate it (no longer necessary, continued out of habit)
