Time Management

Time Management

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 setting goals and achieving them, getting a grip on your workflow and office space, using your planner effectively, and delegating some of your work to other people to support achieving your goals.
