Time and Task Management

Time management techniques you can apply today to get more things done with more value

Are you feeling overwhelmed, pressed for time, and don’t know how you’ll squeeze another minute out of your day? If so, this is the course for you. In this hands-on, practical course, management consultant and author Joseph Phillips will show you how to get more things done, with less stress, and more efficiency. 

You have demands from projects, operations, bosses, and even coworkers. Meetings that could be summed up in an email – meetings that rob you of time from getting things done. Tasks that are complicated, require focus and need your undivided attention invade your desk and email daily. You need a system to organize your work, a system that’s more than a long list of what you need to do, but rather a system that helps you prioritize, create a strategy of accomplishment, and get things done.

If you’re ready to stop wasting time – and to take back control of your time – this is the course for you.
