Getting the right things done – planning and prioritising your day/week/month

Speaker: Sean McLoughney, LearningCurve

Overview

This one-hour webinar covers using the prioritising grid to ensure the important stuff get done first, staying ahead of demanding deadlines and using your diary to help you plan your day, your week and your month to achieve your business goals.
Time management is a core business management skill which has been around for years. Despite this we are no better at time management today than our predecessors were twenty or thirty years ago. Over the years many myths have grown around time management. One of them is that we can in fact 'manage time'.   We can't.  We can, however, manage ourselves and our own behaviour.
During this session Sean McLoughney will share some of his insights from his book “Slave to the Clock, Master of Time”. He will explore why you can’t plan effectively without applying the time management balance sheet principle. He will differentiate between being busy and focusing on important activities and tasks.  Underpinning this webinar is the need for people move away from the outdated “to do lists” and start prioritising and scheduling your day, week and month using proven business principles.

Upon satisfactory completion of this activity you will be able to:

  • Move away from the outdated “to do lists” approach to planning your day and upgrade to the business planning approach
  • Stay ahead of deadlines by applying the time management balance sheet rule
  • Analyse how you spend your time and implement changes to improve your daily, weekly and monthly routines
  • Divide your day into manageable chunks of productive time
  • Implement your 100-day action plan to improve how you use your time.

Getting the right things done consistently, will improve the quality of your performance. After this webinar you will be able to plan and schedule your priorities, deal with unexpected tasks without negatively effecting your original plan for the day, stay ahead of deadlines to reduce stress levels and increase your output and identify who steals most of your time. All the principles covered in the webinar can be applied immediately so that you can benefit from your action plan without delay.
