Balancing Life: Simplifying Your “Busy” Calendar and Digital Life 2023
Friday, April 28, 2023 10-10:30am ET
Do you feel like you’re constantly on the go with too little downtime? Or are there overlapping events and meetings forcing you to choose where to be and what to miss? These can all add to negative stress, burnout, and overall frustration. In this session, we’ll talk about ways to “de-clutter” your schedules and simplify life. This can allow you to say “no” to some things so you are available to say “yes” to the things that matter most to you.
