Being short on resources seems to be "the new normal" for libraries— and having too little money and too few staff members always leads to the same predicament: not enough time. While it is not possible to create more time, making use of time management tools can help you to make improvements in your productivity—while also decreasing stress and frustration and increasing satisfaction and well-being.
Learning Objectives:
Assess your personal opportunities and focus areas for time management changes
Identify 5-7 specific time management tools and techniques that can be adapted to a variety of tasks and roles
Make plans to immediately improve your time management (and how you feel at work)
