Time Management is a misnomer. Individuals need to effectively organise ‘themselves’ within a given time period in order to gain greater productivity and minimise stress. The New Horizons’ Effective Time Management Program teaches participants the fundamentals of time management. You will learn how to prioritise, plan and organise your workload and understand the elements that will sabotage your progress. Further, you will learn tips and tricks to more effectively manage your e-mail, the telephone, meetings, personal interactions, and paperwork.
