This seminar will explore why we constantly feel short of time and frustrated and will provide insights and techniques to manage our resources and regain control. We will reflect on our current and future use of some of the technologies that consume a significant amount of our time, such as social media and email. In addition to that, we will learn how to procrastinate less and plan our lives in a way that allow us to feel fulfilled and aligned with our goals, while balancing multiple responsibilities.
