Time Management

Meeting time management is a difficult thing at many times, especially when you are a new employee and new to the position. Effective time management includes a large amount of organization, prioritizing, and understanding which goals are more important than others. This course was well equipped to help with the understanding, organization, and planning techniques that are needed for effective time management.

Seems I always forget to add time for unexpected issues.  Now I know that they should be scheduled into each day and if not needed, then I have a little free time to catch up if needed.

I have never really thoght about setting goals for every aspect of my life.  I could use this tool with trying to take on projects at home.  This has been helpful for me during my time in school  Great course

A great example of how time management would help every aspect of your life is physical training.  Many people say that they don't have time to go to the gym or workout.  What I have found both inside the military and now as a retiree is that you put it on your schedule just as you would any meeting at work.  If you need to catch up on e-mail, put it on the calendar.  If you need to carve time to do some professional reading, put it on the calendar.  Otherwise "life" can overwhelm you.

I understand the time management.  Between recently having a baby and being promoted my time is limited.  I plan out my days and somtimes things dont go as planned so i have to a little adjusting.  Mr. Williams is correct we say we don't have time to do things but really it's all about set schedule.  I know i thought i couldnt go to the gym anymore once i returned to work well that was wrong.  I created a specific time frame for when i return home to go to the gym.  It's like at work i know i have certain days that are less busy than others so i can put things that are more time consuming or need more focus on those days because i can give it my full attention.
