Time Management skills is a set of industry recognised tips, techniques that Bodhih session works step by step resulting into higher productivity and success.
Bodhih’s workshop on effective Time Management strategies has 10 tips for Time Management and other Time Management tools for employees.
Time Management is not exceptionally difficult as a concept, but rather it’s surprisingly hard to do in practice. It requires the investment of a little time to organize and prioritize things. Be that as it may, since we get the same 24 hours, can anyone explain why some individuals accomplish a lot more with their time than others? The answer lies in good Time-Management.
As you become more proficient and knowledgeable as a professional, it’s important to continually raise the personal productivity bar for yourself. Your career and your overall sense of satisfaction depend upon your ability to become more efficient and effective in Time Management skills. Time Management techniques let you work smarter – not harder – so you accomplish more in less time.
Mastering Time Management skills needs a conscious delayering of Time Management strategies at work, but it all begins with the question around the importance of Time Management for employees.
Bodhih’s Time Management skills programs prepare individuals to the perception of time, by understanding how people look at time and the ways they analyse scenarios in daily life. Through facilitator presentations, videos, and group discussions, the learners get a firm grip on the sheer value of time in our lives and the fleeting nature of it. A time exercise is played in the class for driving home the proposition that time is indeed in our control, should we be clear of what we need and want and also spending thought on how we intend to go about achieving success in our chosen paths.
Bodhih’s program on Time Management skills next deconstructs the concept of Time Management tips, techniques and tools.
Along with work-book activity and group discussions, the learners familiarise themselves with multiple techniques that emphasize “mind-over-matter”. The importance of the session is highlighted by Bodhih’s facilitator on practical ways of accomplishing goals by making time as our wisest allies.
Next, with the help of a facilitator led presentation and case-study, learners get to the bottom of Time Management techniques. The group works on the industry recognised Time Management tools like – the 80:20 rule, activity log, to do lists, action program, multi-tasking, leverage, the art of filing, effective file management, simple prioritization, effective scheduling, goal setting technique, creating mission statements, and treasure mapping. In Bodhih’s Time Management skills training, all the mentioned tools are explained in detail and participants experiment with its nuances with the intention of using them at the workplace later.
In Bodhih’s Time Management training the seasoned facilitator through real world illustrations and videos, highlights the importance of advanced Time Management techniques.
Bodhih’s facilitators are seasoned professionals who create linkages between skills picked up in the workshops and then to apply them in participant’s current roles.
This is done through specific illustrations and analogies and is true for the sessions at Time Management training – advanced techniques.
Personal Ansoff matrix, Action Plan Matrix, Flow model, and backward goal setting – are four of the advanced Time Management techniques that the class is exposed to. The learners through group discussion, individual reflection and case studies start to apply the fundamentals of these tips and tools in their real-world examples.
Thereafter management games are used for familiarizing participants to the topic of goal setting and how the various mechanics of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound) goals are to be used in conjunction with Time Management skills.
At Bodhih, Time Management is a popular session that is part of a larger Behavioural skills training suite.
The session brings latest research done on Time Management techniques as illustrated by multiple renowned global companies and sourced from management consulting case studies.

The session progresses through individual reflection and instructor led presentation that highlights the nuances of meeting deadlines – delegation, organizations, soft deadline, and the appropriate ways to say “No”. The tools appear simplistic in nature, but high degrees of planning, vision and maturity are needed to apply and optimize.

Sample training plan: 1-day hands-on design
This one-day workshop is a practical time lab. Participants discover how accurately they judge time, analyse a real activity log, try to-do lists, action programs and backward planning on their own deadlines, and test a distraction-free focus sprint against a normal one. They tackle procrastination on a task they have been avoiding and practise negotiating deadlines and saying no. The capstone is a launch-week game where teams plan backwards from a fixed date under changing conditions. Everyone leaves with a 21-day habit challenge.
Participants can analyse their time, plan backwards from deadlines, protect focus, beat procrastination and handle competing requests.
