Managing Multiple Priorities at Work: How to Plan and Manage Your Time Effectively

OVERVIEW

As more and more demands are made on everyone’s time at work and as the basic mantra for every organization becomes, “Do more with less!” everyone must become more efficient. The big question is, “How do I do that? I’m already dancing as fast as I can!” The old standbys of the To-Do List, using some complicated organizing tools or ‘working smarter’ just don’t make it in today’s high-pressure world.
