Time is money, the saying goes, and lots of it gets lost in disorganization and disruption. We also deal with a constant barrage of technology, people, and tasks that can contribute to that disorganization. Many people find that they flit from one task to another, trying to get everything done.

In this course you will learn how to make the most of your time by getting a grip on your workflow and office space, using your planner effectively, and delegating some of your work to other people.

Read any self-improvement book and you will learn that hard work, focused goals, and persistence are important (very important!) in getting to where you want to go in life. Goals or targets are also an important part of managing your time.

In this session, you will learn why setting goals is important. We will also introduce you to the SPIRIT acronym, which can help you set solid goals that you are motivated to reach. You will then have an opportunity to set a goal for yourself for after the course is complete.

Life gets much easier when we have a plan and put it into action. Having a plan gives us a place to start, as well as being a way to remember what we are supposed to be doing at any given time.

In this session, we will share some of the strategies that we have found most useful for efficient planning and organization. As you work through this information, remember that we recommend choosing one or two tactics that you think will work for you and trying those out, rather than trying to implement a whole host of changes.
