Description

If you're someone who has a LOT on their plate and wants to find a system to handle it all, but who also craves downtime for yourself, this course is for you. You might be an employee who doesn't feel organized, a manager or exec who is learning to handle your own work and be an effective leader at the same time, a working parent, or someone who has recently said one of the following:"I just don't have enough hours in the day!""I've got too much on my plate!""I have no downtime!""I feel like I'm failing at work AND home!""Planning stresses me out!"Do you wake up at night thinking about something you need to do at work tomorrow?

In this digital age, our time and attention is being pulled in many more directions than ever before. Mastering time management is essential to living a balanced and fulfilling life.Most books and apps about time management and productivity claim to be the silver bullet, if you can just follow them.
