Who Should Attend Attention Management Training Course?

Prerequisites?

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, 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 your goals. Delegates will have the opportunity to take part in practical exercises aimed at testing several different attention management techniques and build on current skills and efficiency. For individuals, this course will teach you to set and reach goals to achieve promotions at work and those personal targets you never get the time to do. For organisations, training your staff in Attention Management can boost productivity, raise motivation, and increase staff happiness as they are not being overrun with work and constantly distracted.

This Attention Management Training course comes under the topic of Personal Development Training, which provides delegates with a range of courses that aim to develop individual's basic skills. This series of training courses will enable delegates to become more competent within their role, as well as being able to apply it to your personal life.
