Workshop Description: In today’s busy world, having enough time for things that are important can seem impossible. Whether your calendar is filled with commitments or you need to get through piles of paperwork, either can easily lead to stress, frustration, and overwhelm because you don’t see any end in sight. You can come in early, stay late, take work home, do two things at once, but your to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer!

 Sound familiar? Time is a resource distributed to everyone in equal measure. Discover the power of managing your time effectively. Time management is much more complicated than making a list and checking things off. The first step is recognizing what needs to change and then doing something about it.
