Time Management for the Overwhelmed

If you're like most professionals, this probably sounds familiar: 

Your best-laid plans are constantly derailed by... 

• An overflowing inbox 
• A steady stream of "urgent" issues only you can handle 
• Endless emails, calls and interruptions that leave you wondering, “Will I ever catch up?” 

It doesn’t have to be this way. 

You can catch up — and even get ahead. The key is mastering a few essential skills: 

• Setting clear priorities so your time goes where it matters most 
• Controlling your workday so you consistently make progress and meet deadlines 

And the results? They're immediate and long-lasting. 

You'll accomplish more, reduce stress and become an even greater asset to your team or organization. Best of all, you'll finally have the time and focus to tackle those high-impact projects you've been putting off.
