Time Management & Self Management

Module Objective

By the end of this module, you should be able to demonstrate how to write clear, measurable objectives and be able to identify priorities.

Effectiveness is achieved through the application of job skills. As with any job, the more skilful the job holder is, the quicker and better the job will be done.

Effective Management of Time is Effective Self-Management, ie. the achievement of required results in the available time.

The improvement of virtually any relevant job skill can improve effectiveness and efficiency.

There are, however, two general principles of self-management, which are universally important for effective time management.

The two general principles of self-management are:

• Priorities. Time usage ideally should directly correspond with the importance of work tasks.
• Objectives. Task requirements must be clearly and measurably defined with deadlines established.
