So, you’ve gone ahead and purchased or use one of those handy Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) devices and you’re still wondering what all the fuss is about? Like most people you may only be using the calendar or address book, but haven’t really had the time or motivation to really learn how to use your PDA at its highest level. If this sounds like you then this is the course you’ve been looking for—now you can get your money’s worth and more from your PDA! Join Randy Dean, who has more than 10 years of experience using and teaching time management strategies and over 5 years showing people how to use the advanced features of their PDA device. His clients include Proctor & Gamble, Michigan State University, the University of Pittsburgh and The Fetzer Institute. Learn how you can get much more out of the calendar and address book, and how to build a daily prioritized task and project plan automatically in your task list. Learn how to leverage your memo button to be a better communicator, a more effective manager and even a better athlete! Best of all, really learn how to use your PDA so it can do what it was meant to do—get organ-ized and save time! Can you learn all this and more in a single two-hour session? Absolutely! Come and find out how. Please bring your current PDA; if you use a laptop to Hotsync your system you can bring that too, but it’s not required or necessary.

We are overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with information, projects, and responsibilities. Life continues to get faster and more complicated, and our time and the deadlines we face are shorter. This one-day workshop will help you find some solutions and sanity in today’s hurried-up world. We’ll take a look at time wasters and how we can better use our time to get more happiness and fulfillment in our lives. We’ll explore some of the more popular time management tools (calendars, planners, PDAs, etc.) and then we’ll go through a detailed process to set your choice of tool up for maximum productivity. One big challenge is information overload (too many emails, too many voice mails, too many trade magazines to read, etc.) and we’ll look at ways to bring the overload back to sanity. We’ll end our day by discussing how to save time in meetings (and who hasn’t felt overwhelmed by seemingly endless meetings?), how to manage team assignments for higher productivity and how to share good time management habits with others. This workshop is great for overworked professionals or anyone looking to better use and enjoy their time and their life! Your presenter is Randy Dean (see bio in previous course description). Note: Please bring your current time management tool to class.

The way we choose to spend our time and money is the measure of our ability to translate what matters most to us into our daily lives. Today, for many, that means a greater focus on devoting more of ourselves to family and loved ones. Yet, the burning question remains: How? As home life and work life become increasingly integrated in contemporary life, success—or failure—in either has an undeniable effect on the other. And while the profound events that began the 21st century have intensified the desire to focus on what matters most to us, there is still often a substantial gap between what we say matters most, and the way we actually spend our time and money. But it is possible to keep both areas moving forward in positive ways. Join Terri Vought, life coach, to explore how you can create a balance between home, work and life, and gain tips and techniques to make it happen!
