Time is the ONLY resource given to everyone in equal measure. Everyone in the world has the exact same 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 52 weeks a year, and almost of all us feel we can't get everything done. But the real problem isn't just running out of time. We allow too many interruptions and distractions to hijack our valuable time, leaving us with less time to devote to the things that are truly important.

This workshop will:

Explain the four-quadrant time management system that helps you identify the things that are important rather than the things that are just "urgent"

Provide you with a 30-minute weekly organizing process that will empower you to plan your week and actually accomplish your goals

Help you strike a balance among the various roles you play in life and the various responsibilities that go along with each one

Give you a method for dealing with unexpected challenges, opportunities, reasons and excuses for not doing what you planned to do
