Course Overview

Do you know there are ONLY 168 hours in a week? Today, folks wear many hats at work. For example, recycling coordinators are coordinating building inspections, tallying election results, and even (no kidding!) issuing death certificates and marriage licenses!

Increased workplace demands mean there is even less time each day to get what you need done. This course will introduce techniques you can use in the office (and at home) to successfully manage all that is expected of you.

Come learn how to make things better! As Stephen R. Covey said, “The key is in not spending time, but in investing it.”
