Common Productivity Challenges and How to Solve Them
Presenter: Gay Lynch
People love the feeling of finishing something, especially when it’s a difficult task, or when it’s especially important to them. We get a boost in our mood every time we accomplish something and can check it off our list. And when you’re productive, you can do more in less time. That means you can take on harder, more important tasks, or have more time to do the things you enjoy like hobbies or connecting with friends. This workshop will help you identify common reasons for why people get off track and provide four ways to improve your productivity.
