Making it all Work: Time Management from the Heart
How do you make a time management plan that meets yours and (most) everyone else’s needs with kind boundaries,
balance, and centering self-care.
At the Root and the Women’s Small Business Program at Mercy Connections are partnering to present the Just Ask Over Dinner Series throughout 2020. Conversations will center around issues/challenges concerning women*-owned small businesses, with thoughtful discussion and resource sharing.
Your relationship with time is one of the most important relationships in your life. We’ll discuss the unique challenges women face around time management, techniques and skills, and resources for managing time and energy effectively, and overcoming procrastination. You’ll leave with new tools for balancing the demands of your work with the other commitments in your life, and know better how to fit in time for YOU so you can feel more joy and success personally and professionally.
Facilitated by Lisa Wood from the Women’s Small Business Program at Mercy Connections.
*This event welcomes transgender individuals and those who do not
identify as part of the gender binary.
