Trainer notes

Discuss with your group where the time goes during a teaching day and what could be done to reduce wasted time. List as many suggestions as possible on how to reduce or eliminate procrastination. As groups to feed back, record the suggestions on a flipchart.

Invite participants to keep a time diary on Handout 5.3: Work-life balance time diary to deepen their understanding of where they might be able to save time and where they might be procrastinating.

Explain the four boxes on Handout 5.4: Stephen Covey’s time management boxes and slide 5 and ask the group to discuss how using this tool might be helpful in managing ‘overwhelm’.
