Personal Effectiveness Cards™| Time Management Training Activity

• To be aware of one’s job description
• The need for a daily plan
• The need for clear objectives in your workload
• The importance of establishing priorities
• Learning to say “No!”
• Avoiding procrastination
• Identifying time-wasting activities

In small groups, simply work through a set of 30 cards, discuss the issues raised and reach a conclusion.

The cards will help you all to analyse the way you use that precious commodity, time. Do you know exactly what you are supposed to be doing each day? Do you plan ahead properly? Are you aware of your ingrained time-wasting activities? Others cards will probe your organisation's approach to time management planning, individual responsibility and level of efficiency. Other cards give you specific tasks to do - all related to your use of time and personal effectiveness at work.

Be honest! You may uncover some unpalatable facts but it’s all with good humour and you won’t be alone! Leave with down-to-earth tips, techniques and simple rules you can easily practice back at work to make your time go further.

1. Divide participants into teams.
2. Issue each team with a set of the 30 unique cards.
