Attention Management Training

Attention Management Course Overview

Time needs to be spent, but attention needs to be paid. Time, or lack of it, has often been seen to be the key reason to tasks not being completed, or in some cases even started, so it was a natural to assume that time management is the most essential skill for productivity. This is a myth, Time isn’t the problem, the lack of attention during this time is. We all complain about long working hours, not meeting deadlines and the pressures of life but we all have enough time to complain about it and that’s the key, not wasting time. If we give our tasks the right level of attention and remain focused, without distractions, we can complete them quicker and better with the right level of detail and no rushed tasks late in the day or being unhappy at staying late. Learning to focus your attention on tasks, greatly improves your efficiency and productivity because getting one job completed in a day correctly is worth a lot more than starting five and not finishing any.

This course will provide tools and techniques to help you make better use of your time and regain control over your schedule by concentrating your attention to meet you goals.
