Please complete a Time Log and have them available prior to the start of this course. This is because the exercises and discussions we will cover on this course are based on the details of your Time Logs. If you don’t complete them, you won’t be able to join in the discussions or benefit from the learning.
Record your Time Logs on 3 separate days, as set out in the instructions at the top of the page. This should only take you 10 minutes per day.
Please make sure you complete the summary sheet on page 3 before you start the course.
Information relating to online session
You will need to be able to access Microsoft Teams and have video, speakers and microphone enabled in order to take part in this course.
Your facilitator (Maurice Markham) will be on video and will use some simple on screen visuals to help focus attention.
Pre-course work
Please complete the Time Log, which will help you be more accurate and specific about how you spend your time during the day, both at work and outside.
You will need to complete it for at least 3 days, and you must have it available at the start of the course as many of the training activities will be based on your time log – please don’t forget to fill it in, otherwise you’ll find it hard to participate fully !
