Course Overview

It’s normal to have a lot to do. Most people at work have a range of different tasks and assignments to complete. If colleagues don’t take the time to plan ahead and focus their attention on the most important tasks, things can quickly spiral out of control. When people fail to prioritise at work, they miss deadlines, waste time, and feel overwhelmed by their workloads. 

Being able to prioritise work is one of the most important time-management techniques that anyone can learn.

In this course, we look at how to prioritise tasks, making sure that deadlines are met and the most important work gets the most attention.

Firstly, we look at how to write a to-do list that prioritises the most urgent and important tasks. Then we look at the importance of focusing on one task at a time.

Next, we look at how to use the MoSCow Method to prioritise the most important parts of a task. Finally, we look at how to be flexible and respond well when things don’t go to plan and priorities change.

This microlearning course is an animated video, with audio narration and a multiple-choice post-assessment.
