The time management seminar is aimed at those who want to learn efficient techniques for a more structured daily routine. It addresses participants who want to structure, prioritise and organise their tasks to be done more effectively. The declared aim of our courses is to gain time for the most important and urgent things of the day and to reduce the time pressure experienced.

You would like to hold the seminar in your company as an in-house training? That is of course possible! We will be happy to advise you comprehensively and create an individual offer that corresponds to your content focus, your specified time frame and other wishes.

Time management means consciously shaping one's daily work routine and creating a fundamental basis in it. This includes being aware of personal and professional goals and clearly stating them. Successful time management involves identifying, prioritising and organising the tasks necessary to achieve the goals. From this, schedules and appointment lists are generated to derive a time plan. Finally, personal self-management implies that methods and procedures are applied that correspond to and do justice to individual work behaviour.

You will succeed in increasing your efficiency with the help of a time management seminar especially if you are prepared to classify and constructively question your personal time management style. Be prepared to draw up an individual profile of your strengths and weaknesses so that you can find out which strengths you would like to develop with the help of the training on the one hand and which weaknesses you would like to eliminate on the other. For example, it may make sense to do your routine tasks at a different time than you are used to. In the time management seminar, be open to tips, tricks and assistance from our lecturer.

It is important to us that professionals and managers take away practical and concrete recommendations for action from the time management seminar that can be directly implemented in their everyday professional lives. Upon request, we offer follow-up sessions via video conference, telephone call or individual coaching on site to ensure the sustainability of the time management training. The following tips need to be consolidated:

• Setting goals
• Structuring tasks
• Prioritising the urgency and importance of these tasks
• Break down large tasks into steps
• Identify and eliminate time thieves
• Scheduling time buffers
• Applying preferred time management measures in everyday life and professional practice

Managers benefit from the time management seminar by not only learning to use their time sensibly, but also to take into account the individual requirements of their employees. For example, your team may have completely different working styles, work processes and self-organisation techniques. In addition, this seminar supports managers, for example, in organising rules for their own discussions and meetings or in eliminating time-wasters in communication and interaction with each other. Finally, they are familiarised with the use of delegation; accordingly, they learn which tasks can be delegated without problems.

In the home office, two worlds inevitably collide: professional and private everyday life. In this respect, it is all the more important to harmonise approaches for effective self-management and self-organisation with time management methods. A clearly structured workplace and day coupled with stringent time planning are your guarantee for the balancing act to be performed at home. One tip from our in-house lecturers from the time management seminar should not be ignored in your home office: remember to plan sufficient buffer times for unforeseen events in the sense of stress management!
