1. Employee Assistance Program Lunchtime Learning, Getting Organized - When Time is Not on Our Side
Getting things done reduces stress, but getting started is a challenge. It's all about managing ourselves without feeling overwhelmed. How do we balance work, family, leisure time and other commitments? We will focus on those things that matter most and identify the obstacles in our path. A questionnaire will be distributed so we can evaluate how we spend our time. Topics covered will be: 1) fighting procrastination, 2) managing stress, 3) setting goals and priorities 4) choosing the right model for taking action, and 5) applying the 3 D's - Do it, Delegate it and Defer it.
