Overview    

Accounting professionals juggle tight deadlines, client demands, CPD requirements and study commitments, often while trying to keep some balance outside of work. When planning is left to chance, days quickly become reactive as urgent tasks crowd out important work and pressure builds with approaching deadlines.  

This webinar focuses on practical, real-world planning that helps accounting professionals take control of their time. Instead of working in constant catch-up mode, you will learn how to plan your year, quarter and week around how you actually work, your energy levels, peak focus times and real workload pressures. 

Join Annelien Feldtmann CA(SA) on 18 February 2026 from 10h00 to 12h00 as she shares simple, proven planning techniques used by high-performance professionals to manage deadlines, protect focus time, and avoid burnout. You will leave with tools you can use immediately to reduce overwhelm and work more consistently.
