Hi friends,

Please download the time management .ppt.

Dear Friend,

This is a well-made presentation, but I suggest some improvements here. In my opinion, the presentation is silent about:

a) the role played by information technology and tools,

b) meetings, and

c) time management tools in general.

Suggestions:

If possible, please insert the slides on the following topics into the presentation:

1. How to use time management tools like palm pilots, Outlook Express for managing email, shared diaries, organizers, etc.

2. How to avoid information overload: applying the Pareto principle.

3. How to manage meetings effectively, as it has been found that sometimes meetings become irritating time wasters.

Hi,

The PowerPoint presentation was really informative. I am in charge of the training department. This will help me in preparing a presentation on Time Management. Thank you very much for the presentation.

Hi Harman,

The suggestion is very good. Could you help me in adding these suggested topics by preparing a presentation and sending it to me? It will work great for everybody, and I too will learn something from you.

Hi,

I have another important tip for realising the value of our own time. Try it, it is really worth.

Costing Your Time

- Finding Out How Much Your Time is Worth



How to Use Tool:

The first part of your focus on results should be to work out how much your time costs. This helps you to see if you are spending your time profitably.



If you work for an organization, calculate how much you cost it each year. Include your salary, payroll taxes, the cost of office space you occupy, equipment and facilities you use, expenses, administrative support, etc. If you are self-employed, work the annual running costs of your business.



To this figure add a 'guesstimate' of the amount of profit you should generate by your activity.



If you work normal hours, you will have something like 200 productive days each year. If you work 7½ hours each day, this equates to 1,500 hours in a year.



From these figures, calculate an hourly rate. This should give a reasonable estimate of how much your time is worth - this may be a surprisingly large amount!



When you are deciding whether or not to take a task on, think about this value - are you wasting your or your organization's resources on a low yield task?



Key points:

Calculating how much your time is worth helps you to work out how whether it is worth doing particular jobs. If you have to spend much of your time doing low-yield jobs, then you can make a good case for employing an assistant.

Thank you for the PowerPoint presentation. If you could also provide some information on the games required while conducting a training session on time management.

Thanks!

Hello Neha,

I just saw your mail. I will advise you to consider Covey's presentation on time management. The book is 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People'. It may be difficult to summarize the entire book in a presentation or follow, but in chapter 3, you can read through to learn time management practices. For ready-made presentations, search in the download area. You may find a number of good ones.
