TIME MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP
Thursday evening, August 12
7-8:30 p.m.
Lucia Mastrangelo Room. 


Get More Out of Each Day (Without Working Harder)

You cannot manage time, but you can manage yourself.  In this time management seminar, you’ll learn some tips and techniques to get more of the important things done each day.  You’ll discover why your day may go astray and what to do about it.  You’ll also learn about the Prioritizing Matrix, as well as other helpful, tactical information to get you working on the right things so you can achieve your goals.

  Lorena Prime, Owner of Clearly Organized, works with individuals and businesses to teach life-long organizing and time-management skills so people get more out of every day without working harder.  In her career she has worked for several Fortune 500 companies, including 3M, Office Depot, and US Surgical in Sales, Marketing, Training, and Information Technology.  She shifted gears after 17 years in Corporate America to start her own company so she could help employees lower their stress levels, feel more in control, be productive, and have a peaceful balance between work and home.
