Video Script
Hi! My name is _________ and I’m excited to present a time management concept today to enhance your productivity at work.
Time is a limited resource
To be more effective time managers, we must first understand our goal.
Do we need to be more efficient or more effective?
Time Efficiency: performing a task in the best way (with maximum productivity) while wasting minimal effort.
Time Effectiveness: focusing on specific tasks to achieve a goal. The focus is more so around a purpose or end goal, which may require using additional/extraneous resources.
Pareto Principle: named after Italian Economist Vilfredo Pareto, asserts that roughly 80% of work-related output comes from only 20% of your time
Take away: Time Effectiveness is critical, as it helps us focus on tasks that will have the biggest impact
Wrap up: e.g., use a short story to illustrate, pick an ending statement.
