Mastering Time Management and Self Management: Become a High Achiever
Date: 28/9/2009 - 29/9/2009
"Time goes, you say? Ah, no! Alas, Time stays, we go." Henry Austin Dobson. Time management and self-management are two skills which once mastered can have the single-most impact on overall job performance and effectiveness. They are essential skills for all successful people irrespective of your career choice. If you can identify and focus on the activities that give you the greatest returns you will dramatically increase your chances of becoming a high achiever.
