  Time Management: Resources!

  
  

  Time Management: A New Way!

  Presented by Devin Lee

  

  
  

  We need to have a different kind of conversation around Time Management. There are infinite apps, tools, hacks, and machines meant to help us save time, yet so many folks are still on the brink of burnout.

  We all know the answer to our busy beaver problem (do less!). It is simple - but not easy. So instead of giving you a listicle of time-saving hacks and tricks, our speaker will ask us to look at Time Management in a brand new light.
