Time and Priority Management

When people talk about your punctuality do they say that you'll be late for your own funeral? Do you consistently miss deadlines? Have you so much work that you can’t decide where to even begin? Do the ideas of planning, organizing, and setting goals intimidate you? If you answered yes to some of these questions, then this workshop is for you. This workshop is intended for procrastinators and for people who are way too busy. You will discover how your current work habits have developed over time, what positive changes you can make, reduce stress, and improve your productivity level. |
