During the workshop, you'll participate in a variety of cohort activities that are designed to help you optimize your time and increase your productivity. From exploring calendar and to-do apps with calendar integration, to finding weekly commitments that bring you joy and fulfillment, to harnessing your dead time for more productive pursuits, this workshop will provide you with a range of tools and strategies to help you better manage your time.
