Defeating the Time Thief: 10 Strategies for Increased Productivity in Your Day-to-Day
Are you regularly working 12+ hours a day? Is part (or all!) of your weekend dedicated to "catching up" on email or other work-related tasks? Are you stressed out, burned out or just done? Then this session is for you.
Time optimization is one of the most powerful methodologies available to take back control of your day. While you can't add more hours in a day, you can implement best practices that allow you to make the most of your time in the office (even if you're working from home).
Learning Objectives:
- Strategic time management techniques to achieve maximum productivity.
- Identifying and eliminating "time thieves" that are draining your day (and energy).
- Distinguishing between being busy and being productive.
- Planning your work and then working your plan to fit in the big stuff around day-to-day tasks.
- When interruptions happen....getting back on track.
In-person session offerings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
