Time Management
May 17th from 2-3pm EST, Virtual on GoToWebinar
As students, sometimes the hardest part of your academic experience isn’t managing your course content, but rather managing all of your myriad obligations in a relatively short span of time. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the underlying causes of procrastination and how to overcome them so that you can focus on efficiency and productivity. You’ll also come away with concrete strategies that will aid in determining which of your competing priorities should come first in a given moment and establishing a schedule that will actually help you achieve balance.
