Practical Productivity
April 29, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Time management can feel daunting. Competing priorities, unruly calendars and tight time budgets can leave you feeling like you’ve spent all day running on a treadmill with little to show for your efforts. In this class, we’ll strategically tackle the four phases in the time management cycle: prioritize, organize, execute and track. You’ll be introduced to a buffet of time-management tools and practices that will help you identify and address your biggest barriers to a balanced and productive work life.
