When choosing a trainer that will conduct the time management training program, it will be very helpful if they have had experiences in working the trenches because trainees can identify these and can have a better relationship with the trainer. If not, the trainers' integrity is questionable to the average worker and may result to ineffective time management training programs. Clutter is clutter and no matter how it is viewed, it is still disorganized. Employees who want to impress their bosses do this time and time again. There is no sense to it. Everything should be in their proper places, labeled, tagged and stocked except for that which is immediately being worked on. Finding things when you need them can already substantially increase productivity. And yet it may be discomforting to notice that managers themselves are big contributors to inefficient time use for lack of respect to the time of their subordinates. This is why a good time management program has to encompass every level of the workforce. Reinforcing those that are working and being prepared to make even drastic changes when the need is there. The changes in real time management is fast as the application of real time statistics and information on international commerce that needs to be processed for more accurate decisions are constantly shifting. Presently more than 25% of all the volume that is traded is done programmatically. By 2008 volumes that are being done programmatically will increase to 40%. It is the ability to categorize what need to be done immediately, what has to be done next and so forth, in a realistic time frame. It is the ability to discipline the self against too many procrastination and entertaining excuses that results at best to delaying what is unavoidable. Time management is to recognize what time of the day where one is most effective and taking the opportunity to take advantage of these most productive hours. When it is already almost your time to make the presentation that you painfully finished yesterday only to find out today that some materials are missing. When you have made preparations as of last week to attend a daughters recital only to be stopped today by the boss for an emergency meeting. Time management at work can pose challenges, often initially at least.
