Take the “Crazy” Out of “Busy”

When people ask you how you’re doing, is your answer always “crazy busy”? Do you have more to accomplish in a single day than most people have to deal with in a month? Does your to-do list never get done? Do you lie awake at night wondering how you will ever manage to get through tomorrow?

We all have the same twenty-four hours a day, but sometimes it seems like everyone else is getting more done (and more sleep) than you are! This presentation will help you learn how to better manage your time so you can be more productive and less overwhelmed. Find out how to deal with your to-do list: what does and doesn’t need to be done, what’s important and what’s not, and how to figure out the difference. Get an idea of what products and apps are out there to help you manage those important tasks. Learn how to choose the best calendar style for you and what kind will work with your life and learning style. And most importantly, discover how to better manage your work-life balance: can you really get it all done in the time you have? Learn how to get your schedule under control and make time for the things that you really enjoy. Participants will learn a system for establishing priorities for their time and how to discern the best ways to accomplish their goals and make the best use of the time that they have. A variety of task management and calendar options will be presented so that participants will be aware of the best applications, both digital and paper, for their lifestyle. Specific time management practices will be offered for concrete, practical, daily use. Stumbling blocks to increased productivity, such as procrastination and over-commitment will be addressed, and we will discuss the realities of “work-life balance”, and what it means for today’s business owners as they tackle the challenges of daily living while striving to achieve the best for themselves and those in their lives.
