“Work expands to fill the time available to its completion.” – Parkinson’s Law.
May it be professional life or in personal life, procrastinate and then brood over lost time without any tangible growth, is a common phenomenon that has made “How to manage all responsibilities and aspirations within a specified period/timeline” a specific problem area to address. It needs to be addressed because it not only dilutes the productivity and effectiveness of teams, organizations and enterprises, rather more dreadfully it takes our talent pool into a spiral of hopelessness. And that is the last thing an organization would like to see. This workshop is meant for us to together develop real meaningful skills to combat this enigma. Let’s think carefully, isn’t it true that as much as we might have been born with natural affinity to “independence” (Thomas Jefferson), we have fallen slave to Time i.e. being managed by time, not vice-versa! That’s the problem, we must address in this workshop. We at talent sigma encapsulate it as “I am motivated by smartly achieving my goals by planning and prioritizing my time to balance my (work and) life” Complaining about shortage of time, professionals, particularly, are getting their workplace increasingly hot and so much so that they have coined new vocabulary called “Time pressure”. They have started feeling and behaving as if they come and go into and out of a pressure cooker when they come and go from the work place. In many cases it is work place and home. And, sadly some situations have ended up in the street as well! So, clearly, everyone needs a trick to get some more time in a day but in vain. The solution lies with being smarter in managing time to balance personal and professional life, which many might argue that it is easier said than done. That’s why we ask you to set your goals right to start with and then the others will follow with discipline and practice. Time management is an essential skill that helps you keep your work under control, at the same time that it helps you keep stress to a minimum. We would all love to have an extra couple of hours in every day. Seeing as that is impossible, we need to work smarter on things that have the highest priority, and then creating a schedule that reflects our work and personal priorities. With this in place we can work in a focused and effective way, and really start achieving those goals, dreams and ambitions we care so much about. And be “HAPPY”.
In this two day workshop we would suggest participants to concentrate on two aspects of life – learning to be Efficient and thinking to be Effective. In this segment we would concentrate on some of the tried and tested skills that professionals have learned and immensely benefited at workplace in managing time. Areas to be covered are – Goal setting , Preparation of To-do List , learning to Prioritize, preparing Activity Log , avoiding Procrastination, Failing to Manage Distractions, learning to say NO, Scheduling and Use of Technology, The Urgent/Important Matrix, Managing Interruptions, as instruments utilized to manage time efficiently. By effectiveness we mean to maximize the utilization of help/people at workplace to get optimum output. It is about learning the techniques of Delegation and Managing Colleagues and importantly Your Boss, thus be successful in managing upwards and downwards.
