Task and Time Management

Do you struggle understanding how to prioritize your work and get things done?  Even the most productive people struggle with task and time management because our schedule and task lists are challenged every day as new issues arise. 

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."  This quote from a Robert Burns poem sums up the challenges of task and time management.  It basically means that no matter how well you plan something, always expect the unexpected.  We see this happen to us every day as we go about our work.  The goal of this component is to give you systems to manage your tasks and time and to help you set realistic expectations for yourself and others.

In the task and time management component you will learn how to:

• Evaluate your current systems (calendars, to do lists, task managers, etc.)
• Set up your schedule

• Track tasks and priorities
• Delegate tasks to leverage your time and skills

Task and time management takes discipline and determination to break old habits and develop new routines.  Mastering this component will revolutionize the way you work and what you are able to accomplish.
