Each of us have the same amount of available time in a day, yet some seem to get a lot done while others struggle to accomplish simple tasks. This session will provide a framework you can use to set priorities and use your time more effectively. Stress is often related to ineffective time management, but there are many reasons why leaders experience stress. Join us as we share tools for identifying sources of stress and ways to manage personal stress. You’ll also have the opportunity to select the key skills to better manage your available time and control the stress in your life.
Objectives:
– Use the “Urgent and Important” matrix to organize and prioritize tasks and activities.
– Practice a simple method for more effective planning.
– Identify sources of stress and strategies to control stress.
– Plan for hands-on application steps to practice the key skills to manage time
and minimize stress.
Intended audience:
New and experienced managers and leaders who want to develop or improve their time and stress management skills.
Also suitable for experienced individuals who are in need of new practical ideas for managing time and stress in the modern manufacturing environment.
