Time Management Training Workshops

Imagine this: You are walking down the hall toward your office when that guy from procurement flags you down to ask if you could spare 15 minutes to go over some specs with him. You smile benignly and say not at the moment, because you have to keep an important appointment. Just as you step into your office your cell phone rings. Someone downstate needs to pick your brain about some territory management issues. In your most relaxed and casual manner, you ask the caller to get back with you in the morning, because you have to keep an important appointment. Then you close your door, block both your phones, turn off your email and IM, and get to work on the project that must be completed by the close of business today. The important appointment was with your project!

This is one application of an important technique we teach in our Time Management Training classes. It is called time blocking, and it is a great way to protect your high value items from getting swallowed up by the OPN monster. OPN stands for other people’s needs, and they will always expand to consume your time if you don’t defend yourself against them. Time blocking is sheer genius; after all, everyone understands the sacredness of keeping appointments. If they know you already have an appointment, they will leave you alone, or at least ask for an alternate time. Our courses are full of great ideas that will improve your efficiency and your effectiveness, and put the OPN monster in its place. Contact us and let us tell you more.
