Course Description

Nobody has enough time in the busy-busy, 24-hour, non-stop world of Twitter, smartphones, and latte in a cardboard cup.

Yet you want to do more, you want to achieve better things, you want to get more out of the time you have: you wish there were more hours in the day.

Practical Time Management cannot give you more time, but it sure can show you how to use the time you have to the greatest effect!

  • It shows you how to make the most of your time by avoiding the time-wasting and morale-sapping habits that rob you of your most valuable asset... time.
  • You will learn how to prioritise your time effectively, and how to use a powerful four-step process that gets things done.
  • It will arm you with a host of tools and techniques from the established expert on getting things done – the author of the best-selling Brilliant Time Management.
  • Whatever you do in life, whatever you hope to achieve, Brilliant Time Management will help you get it done - with time to spare.
  • You will learn how to set yourself up to succeed, manage the stresses of a busy diary and find that productive space to think clearly and do quality work.
  • It will show you how to make focused use of your day and how to deal with the interruptions that rob you of productive time.
  • It will give you the low-down on time management, explaining clearly the essential roles of goal setting, scheduling, delegation and personal motivation.
  • You will learn about the multi-tasking fallacy and how the Elephant and the Octopus have different solutions to awesome productivity.

Practical Time Management is not about fancy systems and sophisticated technology: it is about the reality of how to be productive in a busy life.

How much you get done really depends on you. Practical Time Management highlights the unhelpful habits you have got into and how they waste the most precious commodity you have. If you want to make the most of your time, then this could well be the most valuable three hours ever.

Practical Time Management: if you want to DO MORE, GET MORE, LIVE MORE.

It is based on Mike's best-selling three-hour live seminar and contains nearly two and a half hours of video, and a wealth of templates for you to download and adapt to your work.

Practical Time Management – if you haven't got enough hours in a day!

Based on a lifetime of getting things done and hitting deadlines, Dr Mike Clayton combines psychological principles with powerful practical solutions to show you how you can:

  • Spot what's important, and focus on it to really make a difference.
  • Enjoy productive time and take the chore out of work.
  • Programme your mind for productivity.
  • Make multi-tasking work for you.
  • Schedule your activities to get more done and leave time for yourself.
  • Say NO to things that just get in the way.

You will learn how you can...

  • Balance the extremes of your personality to find productivity, success, and happiness in the middle.
  • Apply Mike Clayton's powerful OATS principle to gain control of your working day.
  • Schedule activities into your day for maximum productivity and minimum work left over at the end of the day.
  • Set goals so that you really do achieve them.
  • Distinguish between what is important in your life, and what is merely urgent.
  • Tame your to-do list and convert it into your formula for productive delivery.
  • Handle your backlog of work calmly and effortlessly.
  • Avoid the multi-tasking trap, to get more gone, more quickly and with fewer mistakes.
  • Handle interruptions by applying the five strategies to keep control of your day.
  • Distinguish between overwhelm and overload, and apply successful strategies to each.
  • Overcome the stress of feeling overwhelmed, by seizing control using Mike's awesome seven-step procedure.
  • Avoid those fatal four words: “Leave it with me".
  • Create real extra time in your day by delegating effectively.
  • Become a master of time estimation.
  • Schedule your time to produce better work and get more done.
  • Say "NO" with confidence, to keep control of your time and, ultimately, to increase the respect people have for you.

… and, finally, you will learn why your attitude to time affects everything.
