Time Management in 45 Minutes

Time Management in 45 Minutes

Practical tools for time management, stress reduction, and increased focus & productivity

Time management isn’t about cramming more into your day it’s about doing more of what matters, and less of what doesn’t.

In this practical 45-minute course, you’ll learn a clear and effective approach to taking control of your time. The course is led by Chris Croft, an experienced management trainer who has delivered training to thousands of professionals across a wide range of organisations, bringing real-world insight into what actually works in busy working environments.

You’ll explore why working harder isn’t the solution, and how the real challenge lies in choosing between urgent tasks and important ones. This simple but powerful idea underpins the entire course and will help you rethink how you prioritise your time.

The course introduces five key strategies that are essential for staying in control: saying no, negotiating priorities, delegating tasks, building systems, and avoiding perfectionism. These strategies are supported by practical tools such as master lists, daily task lists, and realistic planning techniques that allow for interruptions and unexpected demands.

You’ll also look at common time management challenges, including procrastination, multitasking, and over-commitment, and learn straightforward ways to deal with them. In addition, the course explores how better time management can reduce stress and help you achieve a more balanced and sustainable way of working.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a simple, structured system you can use every day to manage your time more effectively, improve your productivity, and feel more in control of your workload.
