Foreword:

• Do you feel that there is too much to do yet you have very little time? Have you ever wished that you had more hours in a day? A Time Management training course from PD Training can help you overcome these struggles. This course teaches you how to set priorities and manage your time wisely.
• Managing time well enables you to be in control of your life and allows you to act on situations rather than react tosituations. When reacting to situations, you are ill-prepared and under stress, so your action is unplanned and probably time consuming. Whereas, when you act on situations, it is well planned and thus allows you to function at your highest capacity. Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but actually achieve very little because they are not concentrating on the right things in the right order.
• According to the Pareto Principle, or the '80:20 Rule', typically 80% of unfocused effort generates only 20% of results. The remaining 80% of results are achieved with only 20% of focused effort.
