Managing Your Task List

Duration: Two hours, usually 13.15-15.30 (including break)

About

In this two-hour session, you will learn how to take tasks out of your head and put them into a simple, reliable system. With many tools at our fingertips, we will focus on using them well so that nothing important is left in your head.

You will learn how to intercept the constant flow of ideas that come to  mind and into your inboxes and bring method to what can feel like a jumble of competing priorities.
