Managing Multiple Projects and Priorities

Most, if not all of us, feel the pressures of daily living. Those combinations of our professional and personal life that make us feel as if there are not enough hours in the day. We are well aware of the fact that there are always 24 of them each day and it is we who chooses their use. The feeling of not having enough time stems from a lack of accomplishment and more specifically, from not accomplishing things that are important. This course provides participants with skills for making a significant and immediate impact on daily productivity and time management. Participants identify old, non-productive habits and replace them with the proven habits of top achievers. In this course, participants work through a series of activities and create a process that they can transfer to their professional and personal lives. In doing so, they discover the key to focusing their efforts on the most important items both professionally and personally, which allows their production of goal-satisfying results.

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate tasks and goals using the lens of criticality and importance
• Recognize priorities and let go of the unimportant
• Effectively schedule and prioritize critical tasks and projects
• Meet project deadlines
• Connect organization’s mission and vision to daily work assignments
