Overview/Description
Managing time effectively involves analysing your goals, breaking those goals into tasks and then prioritising those tasks. This isn't always easy or well-defined, taking into account the number of tasks that you may need to complete. But, if you set clear and measurable goals and then develop an effective to-do list, you'll find that prioritising your many tasks is easier. And, in the end, you'll manage your time better. This course focuses on ways to prioritise your workload. It discusses how to prepare a useful to-do list and prioritise the items in it. The course also outlines how to sequence and queue tasks to help improve your time management. Finally, it describes how to estimate time frames so that you can schedule your tasks effectively and meet your deadlines.
