Time Management with Lotus Notes (2 Days)
Brief Outline:
The main focus of this course is to help you to maximise your productivity, effectiveness and efficiency in managing your time in both your working/professional and personal lives.
You will learn how to better manage people, relationships, goals, to-dos, projects, meetings, and all the other day-to-day things we need to do and achieve. The course will also show you how to focus on your overall vision, your roles and goals and your priorities in life as a way to manage your working and personal lives.
The course then takes you through how to use Lotus Notes as a tool for managing your time. You will learn powerful techniques for using Lotus Notes effectively as part of your own personal time-management system that will improve your personal productivity and efficiency.
While most people can get by using basic e-mail and tasks, many fail to fully utilise the power at their fingertips available with Lotus Notes which, when used properly, can dramatically improve the way you manage your personal and working schedules.
The course will also show you how to integrate your paper-based diaries with your electronic calendar. How to prevent Lotus Notes from ‘getting in the way’ of your day-to-day work and how to develop consistent work habits that do not affect your personal productivity are also covered.
