We all have times when we have to work to tight deadlines, or feel we have too much to do, but we shouldn't be fooled into thinking there is nothing we can do about it.
This course helps the learner develop techniques for managing workload through identifying their priorities correctly, setting effective goals and making the best use of their time. It also looks at what they can do when their workload really does become excessive.
