If time management is so easy to accomplish on one' own, then why do we feel so overwhelmed?

Time management is learned skill. It requires self-discipline and a desire to become conscious of how personal daily activities are managed. It is important to learn to prioritise important events and explore the role of delegation and communciating delegation requests with others.

The session will provide an explanation of the time management process and the characteristics of effective time managers.
