- There are routine problems and there are the unexpected problems. A good part of meetings are fire-fighting issues that could also be avoided. It will also be very useful if one looks at the way time is being spent and make the necessary adjustment from there. Because the time that is allotted for work each week is very limited. It is imperative that time management programs then considers those mentioned above and the following: - Planning preparation and scheduling - Relationships building - Systems and process development - Anticipation and prevention - Developing of action plans, direction and strategic coordination - Crises issues and complaints - Demands from superiors and co workers - Reports, submissions and deadlines - Coordinated work with the general cyclical and action plans - Staff issues and needs. After the training and seminars that have been attended, it then would be easier if time management is seen not as regimenting a lifestyle but that of controlling it. Because schedules can not be avoided, unpleasant tasks can not be often delayed, and the rising of efficiency and productivity is the language of today's world. On the other hand a person who have learned enough time management and have applied them have more predictable results, have better direction and purpose, are more successful and often ends up with more time in hand. Correct time management is really to enjoy what one reaps. But often, time control buffs go to the extreme of gaining more time to turn it into another frenzy of activity and so on where no time is really left to enjoy the rewards gained. The conviction will be lacking, the integrity is nil and the message lost. It is critical then that trainers and speakers are chosen based not only on their agenda but also on their ability to discuss with emphatic understanding to particular working conditions. Failing that will often result to having a speaker who will coach the trainees on many ideas that the workers have heard already and end on advice that will be hard and unrealistic to apply. Another issue is that people of other cultures may be the very people who will benefit from time management most to upgrade productivity and progress but often the very same people who need it most and want it most are those who can afford it least. Whatever the issues involved, time management books are the handiest training materials that one's hand can lay on in time management.
