Get Magic!
Getting your work done at work isn’t just about productivity; it prioritizes your mental well-being, alleviates stress, and opens the door to planning moments that bring you joy. Refresh, refill, and restore your daily time management habits with this insightful program from thought leader, Toni Blake. Your time management habits can be a sign of self-love or self-sabotage. In this program, Toni Blake reveals practical techniques to minimize time-wasting interruptions from residents, consolidate active team phone calls, and more, allowing you to take lunch breaks and to go home with personal energy to spare. Toni shows you how to establish clear boundaries, focus on essential tasks, and be mindful of where each precious minute is spent. The result is a profound sense of control through a true work-life balance. Mastering time management transcends mere schedules; it is a powerful expression of self-care. When you control your time, it enables you to make meaningful decisions for your health, happiness, and personal fulfillment.Creating Community: Resident Events That Work | Veronica Rasey, AFB Floors; Johnathan Hubbard, HD Supply |
