This course earns a Camderson Academy Certificate of Completion. This certificate confirms completion of a Camderson Academy course. This course is general education about managing time and priorities at work. It is not medical, mental health, legal, HR or financial advice, and it does not replace your organization's policies, your manager or HR contact, or the advice of qualified professionals. Research from one setting may not match yours, the sorting methods, routines and planning steps are teaching aids and not formulas, and some situations, such as a workload that stays unmanageable even with good planning, need a conversation with your manager or HR contact.
