Secrets of Effective Prioritization
What you’ll learn
Skills you’ll gain
You probably have too much to do. You may even have way, way too much to do. And despite that, your friends, family, and coworkers are still asking you to do more. So even though you spend your day conquering your to-do list, you're finding yourself struggling to make time for the projects that matter the most to you. In this course, you'll learn how to make that time by learning the secrets of effective prioritization. Your instructor is Sam Bennett, a bestselling author, successful entrepreneur, and an expert in creativity and productivity. She'll walk you through how to figure out what’s really an emergency, and what can wait. You'll also learn concrete ways to put yourself first, and even how to say that terrible, essential word, “No.” By the end of this course, you'll still have a lot to do, but you won't find yourself overwhelmed anymore.
