Time Management Workshop

| Learning Path: Professional Effectiveness

Discover how to eliminate time-wasters and achieve greater personal productivity.

There are only 24 hours in a day – no more, no less.  Everyone starts with the same amount of hours – so why do some people seem to get so much more done?

Frequently Asked Questions

 I’m busy all day, but I still end up behind. Is this time management workshop right for me?

Absolutely. This time management workshop is designed for professionals who feel stretched, reactive, and pulled in too many directions. It helps you step back, identify where your time is really going, and make better choices about what deserves your attention.

 Will this time management course help if my day keeps getting hijacked by email, meetings and interruptions?

Definitely. A core part of the time management workshop is learning how to manage interruptions, distractions, and other common time-wasters more effectively. It also looks at how communication habits, meetings, paperwork, and technology can quietly drain time and focus.

 What will I actually learn in this time management workshop?

You’ll learn how to identify the time-wasters that affect your day, set clearer goals, assign priorities more effectively, and plan your activities around what matters most. The time management workshop also helps you improve concentration, revisit priorities as circumstances change, and make more deliberate choices about how you use your time. 

 What tools or approaches will I use in this time management workshop?

You’ll work with a practical prioritization approach that helps you sort urgent demands from genuinely important work, so you can respond more thoughtfully instead of reacting to everything at once. The time management workshop also helps you examine time-wasting patterns, think more clearly about what deserves your effort, and build a practical plan for handling your day more effectively.

 Will I leave with something I can actually use right away?

Yes. This is a hands-on time management workshop, not a lecture on productivity. Participants work through exercises, reflect on their own time management challenges, discuss real examples, and apply what they’re learning to situations they face at work. The goal is to leave with useful changes you can start making right away.

 How is Time Management Workshop different from the 2-day Time Management course and Managing Chaos?

Time Management Workshop is the focused option for people who want practical help getting better control of the day-to-day, especially around priorities, interruptions, and common time-wasters. The 2-day Time Management course allows more room for reflection and deeper follow-through, while Managing Chaos is better suited to people dealing with broader pressure, competing demands, and more complex decision-making.

 Why does my team seem busy all day, but still struggle to focus on the right work?

Often, the issue is not effort, it is how time and attention are being pulled in too many directions. This time management workshop helps participants look more closely at where their time is going, identify common time-wasters, and make better decisions about priorities, interruptions, and competing demands so more energy goes toward important work.
