About the Program
How time managed are you? What is your personal time management style? Do you over commit? Are you overwhelmed with workload? What are you procrastinating? These are questions that need answers when managing time effectively and efficiently.
Employees are always confronted with several tasks to perform in their routine daily work assignments and this can be overwhelming.
Listing tasks is a good way to remember them, but it doesn’t create a plan for effectively getting them done. You may not really know when anything will get finished, what your priorities are, or whether you can deliver work by the required dates.
Multitasking effectively results in efficiency and effectiveness. Multitasking skills refer to the capability to handle multiple tasks at once and complete them simultaneously.
