The "Knowing Yourself" Guide to Getting Things Done

Every library director, manager, and staff person has experienced the feeling that there's too much to do and too little time! How do you regain control of your schedule and feel like you're able to take care of business? Self-help books offer checklists that promise to help you achieve all those things in life that never get accomplished. And that new app promises to help you get organized and find the time. This workshop takes a different approach and examines how self-knowledge can serve as a guide to being productive and feeling in control.
This workshop offers participants the opportunity to self-identify and explore techniques and tools to use when accomplishing tasks and achieving goals in their personal and professional lives.
