Conference
1-Hour CareerTrack Audio Conference
The phone is ringing, your e-mail inbox continues to fill, and the stack
of papers on your desk grows exponentially as the hours tick by. A sense of
panic sets in as the overwhelming nature of your workday takes hold. Do you have
the tools and techniques mastered for gaining control of your to-dos and
maintaining your sanity in today's fast-paced business environment?
It's increasingly difficult to find down time in your day to catch up on your
voicemails, e-mails, and paperwork. As soon as you finish a project, you receive
immediate feedback on next steps and revisions. Coworkers and bosses are looking
to you for help with their priorities NOW. As your to-do list grows, so does the
clutter on your desk. If these situations sound familiar, you're in desperate
need of simple solutions and successful strategies for prioritizing your
deadlines and maximizing your effectiveness.
Time management isn't a skill you're born with — it's something any individual
can learn and master with the right tools and strategies. From improving
communication and streamlining workflow to identifying time-wasters and
minimizing interruptions, there are numerous strategies for gaining more control
over your tasks, time, and priorities than you ever thought possible.
Have you ever found yourself
in the following situations?
- You are working on a rush project for Boss One when Boss Two stops by with
an assignment she needs completed "right this minute." You let her know that
you’re on deadline for Boss One, but she tells you her project should take
priority. At the same time, you're feeling the pressure build as you know your
daily work continues to pile up.
- A client stops by your office unexpectedly to sign a waiver. You know the
waiver is somewhere at your desk, but the client's frustration builds and you
begin desperately digging through piles of paperwork. He comments that his
business must not be important to you if you can't even find his forms.
- You arrive at work with your day planned and time allocated for all of
your important tasks. Mid-morning, you get a phone call from a vendor that
requires you to stop what you're working on and find a solution to her
problem. After lunch, a coworker hangs around your desk raving about his
personal crises. Suddenly, it's 4 p.m. and you're left with a number of to-dos
on your list that you were sure you'd have finished by now, and you're
dreading staying late to get them completed. Where did the time go?

techniques provided in this one-hour audio conference, you'll learn to identify
