Feeling perpetually short on time, constantly chasing deadlines, and frustrated by the inefficiency of your routines? This workshop aims to address these common grievances by providing practical solutions for better time and workload management.
Many of us operate on autopilot, sticking to habits and routines that seem effective until we pause to question their efficacy. Effectiveness isn't just about what we do but also about asking the right questions, prioritizing tasks efficiently, and managing interruptions effectively.Rather than simply working harder, the focus should be on working smarter. This workshop emphasizes practical techniques to achieve better results by optimizing time and workload management. It acknowledges the challenges of a busy workspace, shifting priorities, and multiple deadlines, offering tangible strategies rather than relying solely on theoretical concepts.
Why should you Attend: Do you complain that you don't have enough time? Do you ever feel that you will never catch up and it frustrates you? You are efficient, you are more than competent, but when it comes to getting everything done, it just never happens.
We all fall into habits and routines that we are convinced work; until we start looking them and question exactly why we are doing something that way when it doesn’t always make sense.
Your effectiveness isn’t just about you do during the day. It is about asking the right question, prioritizing the right activity in that time, and managing the interruptions placed us by others. We need to work smarter, not harder!

You will learn how to organize your time more effectively and be introduced to tools and perspectives to better manage your workload.
