Why do many of us take time management training? To optimize our time, in other words to increase our productivity.

My boss and my time (10'55)
Our boss is an essential element in the accomplishment of our tasks. It is with them that we define our objectives, that we discuss each crucial step of a project, and that we report on the progress of our missions.
Our time with them is sacred, just as their time with us is sacred.

The use of email (10'36)
Although they’re supposed to make our work easier, e-mails paradoxically end up polluting it by constantly interrupting us. According to the Mindjet survey, 68% of employees receive up to 100 emails a day. A quarter of the emails don’t even get opened!
Some companies, considering the extent of the problem, suggest rules for good email use. In this video, there are 7 wise tips to help you improve your email usage and save time (for yourself and others around you!)
Setting up a dashboard (9'39)
The dashboard is an indispensable tool for monitoring the development of one’s activity, especially as a manager.
Just like a car dashboard, the dashboard in a company allows the visualization, the follow-up and the exploitation of data in the department through figures, ratios, graphs.
With a good dashboard, a manager, even if they are off-site, will be able to react quickly to any deviation and build their vision of the future. Here are 10 tips for a quality dashboard.
Telework and working time (8'44)
Our notion of time is turned upside down when we leave the company’s premises with its conventional schedules.
When we work remotely, telecommuting or off-site, how do we make sure that the contractual working time will be effective, how can we ensure that it will be productive?
We’ll look at telecommuting legislation first, then the importance of trust in organizing telework, and finally I’ll give you some tips for managing your time wisely when working from home.
