Managing Time Authentically

Course Description

We all have the same number of hours in a day. Why, then, do we so often feel like we are constantly working against the clock? This workshop is for faculty and staff who want to take control of their time and to use it in a more holistic, authentic way. Beginning with an examination of your values, you will discuss the connection between what is really important to you and time management. You will engage with specific tools, tips and techniques to help you determine your priorities and to discuss what is standing in your way of setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries.

At the end of this workshop, you will commit to a plan of action for improving time management and prioritization in your personal and professional lives using the tools and techniques explored and applied in the session.
