Time Lab - A personal time effectiveness course by Andrew Wallbridge

About the training

Time Lab

“We always have enough time, but only if we use it right”

Overview

Successfully managing your time allows you to work in a more efficient, productive, and valuable way. This one-day programme provides you with a range of tools and techniques that you can use to achieve this and organise your time effectively. You will learn how to manage your time and use your initiative to benefit both your work life and personal life.

Who is this course for?

Any individual who juggles multiple tasks and often finds themselves working to deadlines.

What will be learnt?

By the end of this 1-day course, delegates will be able to:

• There’s often, no such word as “no”, it’s either “yes”, or “yes, if”.

  Understanding your Monkeys and Time Bandits that get in the way of your effectiveness
• Applying tools and techniques to eliminate Time Bandits and manage your Monkeys and the Monkeys of others
• Ensuring your actions contribute to organisational success
• Applying the Productivity multipliers – work harder, work faster, co-operate, do more important things, cluster similar tasks, get better at key tasks, find better ways
• Learning how to use the “Yes, if” tool for delaying or delegating tasks to others
• KWINK Analysis: Knowing what I know now, would I keep doing what I’m doing now if I were starting again? If I wouldn’t what can I do to stop or change the situation?
• Discovering and naming your frogs so that you don’t look at them too long before you eat them
• Exploring the power of Pomodoro to ensure your frogs get eaten in bite sized pieces.

What you will be doing

This is a very practical workshop that literally asks you to apply tools and techniques to your own world. We follow the principle of:

• 1st Understand
• 2nd Practice
• 3rd Apply to your own world

So that participants come back to work having already taken steps to improve their time management, what now needs to happen is to put in to practice some of the behaviours that allow you to manage others so that they fit in to your new Time Effective World.
