90-minute time management training for IT professionals (GPS)
Note to trainer:
Of course it's a huge challenge to cover the topic of time management and enhanced productivity in just 90 minutes. But this sample program, which I've labelled GPS, standing for the three key strategies that it shares with attendees, is a good introductory program for those who cannot allocate more than 90 minutes to time management training. You can certainly use this sample program for an introductory program and later, once you have more time for training, you can expand to two half-day, one entire day, two full days, or even the 10-week one-topic-a-week format.
