Learning Objectives/Description

"Work harder." This sums up what medicine has taught us about managing our time. In this workshop, we'll explore moving beyond busy and achieving joyful productivity by focusing on what matters most. You'll gain clarity about how you want to spend your time, and we'll discuss evidence-based systems to decrease your time stress. You'll leave feeling empowered and more intentional about one of your most precious resources - time.
