This book addresses the special concerns about time management faced by event planning professionals. Event planning is an industry that operates 24/7, 365 days of the year. Planners work evenings, weekends, and holidays, often far away from their home base. They often find themselves working down to the wire against crushing deadlines and a mountain of obstacles that impede their progress. Too frequently, there is not enough time to get the job done properly, let alone to spend on personal or professional pursuits. And for many involved in the event planning field, there is the extra dimension of travel to factor in, juggling multiple projects on a daily basis across a multitude of time zones. For smooth event implementation, and for business success, it is essential that planners know how to manage their own time as well as they manage an event. This book will teach readers how to successfully manage their workload, and do what matters most, when it matters most. It offers time-saving tips, techniques, and expert insight on time management as it relates specifically to the event planning and hospitality industry.
