Time Management
Why is time management integral in managing a department? how would it help you to manage departments?
I use a "to do list" every single day at work.Is the only way that I can identify my critical goals.Althought I always have more than one task,shows me how to priorize them and guide me for the best way to handle my time.Is true that sometimes we spend more work hours than personal hours,now that I've completed this course,I realize that I need a balance between my work and personal hours and I will spend more time with my family.Thank you for this training,it was very helpfull!
Robert,
If you find that sticky notes work better for you, go back to them.

I use the yellow post it notes, write down my tasks, review them daily and tackle a task by priority, or how much time I have left. For example if I have an hour before class starts and I can finish a top priority task that would take an hour, that is the one I would choose.
I did print out the 4 Time Management Tool worksheets and will definitly incorporate them instead of having my desk full of sticky notes.
Robert,
What are some of the specific ways you manage time?
Jeffrey Schillinger
I think time management is vital in accomplishing daily tasks effectively and efficiently.
Thanks, Mike.
What are the most useful things covered in the course?
A lot of our time here could be managed better. With training like this, it will help both on the job as well as prioritizing projects at home.
Carroll,
Thank you for this post. It is refreshing to see that a supervisor recognizes the positive impact personal time management can have on the folks that work for you.
Time management is crutial in maximizing productivity,effency,and profits.
The more skills one has in time management the more you can reduce your work load and the work load of your employees.
One of the keys to managing a department is respecting the time of others. If the leader is well-organized and prepared , meetings are more effective and take far less time.
On the personal side, the more effective at time mangement a manager is, the more time the manager will have to spend on the things that really matter, not to mention time with those being led.
