Time is surely our most valuable commodity of all. Once it's gone, it's gone, and yet, so many of us fail to make the best possible use of it. Indeed, the very knowledge of that may paralyse us to the point that we, ironically, waste time. Many of us are no doubt familiar with that feeling of approaching the end of the working day, only to find that so many tasks remain undone. So what can you do to finally start making better use of your minutes? Here at Cerulean, we provide Time Management Training that helps you to banish those frustrations for good. If you are to conquer your time management demons, however, it is important to also banish certain misconceptions that surround this topic. Managing your time well doesn't mean just adopting a relentless 'all hands on deck' approach, where you skip breakfasts and lunches in order to squeeze work in. As a matter of fact, it's known that taking breaks can help you to be more effective when you do resume work. Nor should you focus on the quantity of the work that you do, but the quality. So many people think they are managing their time well simply through being constantly busy, but if such 'business' involves hours wasted on the phone to unimportant people or idling on social media sites, you won't see the benefit. Instead, we look at how you can stay focused on your results. Remember that resentment at extra work hours will also do little to genuinely boost productivity. Of course, most of us know the well-worn hints and tips around time management - such as establishing your goals from the outset and making a list of 'must dos'. However, our time management training here at Cerulean takes a different approach to just giving you these same tips all over again. Instead, we place the emphasis on why - when so many of us already know these 'common sense' things about time management - we still so often fail to follow that advice. Sign up to one of our learning lunches that focus on time management, and we'll look at not only time management in and of itself, but also the workings of the brain and how the way in which you and your colleagues manage time is affected by the four predominant thinking styles. On developing an understanding of this, you are able to adapt your approach to work and that of your wider team. Naturally, we'll also give you a list of great time management tips to refer to for the future.
