If we think the last few years have been difficult in terms of time management and using our time management skills to try and create more time and reduce stress levels--- we haven’t seen nothing yet!
Time management training will be a vital component of everyone's personal development over the next number of years. For the past few years (in the good times) we have all had bosses, family members, subordinates, colleagues and friends competing for our time.
But just think back, for those of you old enough to remember the last recession, when words like downsizing or rightsizing were at the forefront of every newspaper. The lucky ones kept their jobs and the not so lucky lost their jobs.
Well the reality was that those that kept their jobs may not have been so lucky for as well as keeping their own jobs they also had to inherit the jobs of colleagues who were made redundant. More work, longer hours, more responsibility but yet no additional time.
Those who had been on time management courses and learned the time management skills of prioritizing, delegating, dealing with interruptions and so on, were obviously better positioned to manage new tasks, but those without the adequate time management training were those who found it more difficult, and often felt under pressure.
Now let’s look at the picture today, already we believe there are not enough hours in the day to effectively manage our time so as we can achieve what we need to and want to. What is going to happen over the next few years when you are one of the lucky ones who has kept their job, but has to cover for those who have lost their jobs—will you really be the lucky one, having to work longer hours take on more tasks and probably see less and less of the family that are important to you?
Well the reality is we need to be given the skills to manage time effectively over the next number of years we need to be trained in time management skills and effective organizational skills, we need to learn how to delegate effectively, how to prioritize our tasks, how to know the difference between important and urgent. If not we will not be the lucky ones for keeping our jobs but the unlucky ones.
Now more than ever we need to have effective time management training and attend effective time management training courses to learn the necessary skills to survive the next few years, just in case we are the lucky ones.
