The intervention involved 37 employees attending a 1½‑day time‑management seminar, with a 14‑person control group awaiting training to control expectancy effects. One month after training, participants reported reduced avoidance and worry and improved time‑management ability, indicating that the training lessened workplace procrastination.
The author examined the impact of time management training on self-reported procrastination. In an intervention study, 37 employees attended a 1 1/2-day time management training seminar. A control group of employees (n = 14) who were awaiting training also participated in the study to control for expectancy effects. One month after undergoing time management training, trainees reported a significant decrease in avoidance behavior and worry and an increase in their ability to manage time. The results suggest that time management training is helpful in lessening worry and procrastination at work.
