Free Online Productivity and Time Management Workshop

I’m a busy person – with my blog, my job, and my schoolwork, I’m constantly doing something. I struggle to balance each of those areas of my life while still taking care of myself. While I manage to keep my head above water without planning ahead, my life would be much more manageable – and enjoyable! – if it were more balanced. I need a structure and routine. I need better time management.

Time management is not just a problem for me, but for almost all college students. For many of us, college is the first time that we are entirely responsible for ourselves. There is no one to tell us when to do homework, to force us to eat our broccoli, or to make us go to bed. All those choices are now in our hands. As a result, we make questionable decisions when it comes to how we spend our time. Un-learning those bad habits can be hard, especially when doing it alone.

I want to improve, and I want us to improve together. For that reason, this October, two fabulous bloggers and I will be hosting a productivity and time management workshop. Every Monday at Sara Laughed, I’ll be sharing themed blog posts with information, inspiration, and exercises, as well as documenting my own progress. I’m partnering with two amazing college bloggers: Kayla over at Kayla Blogs and Dani over at Dani Dearest. Kayla will be posting every Wednesday, and Dani every Friday. Together, we’ll be sharing lots of great information on everything from mastering your mornings to blocking your time!

It gets better. On Facebook, there will be a group for anyone who wants to join us in this challenge! The group will have worksheets and printables that coordinate with the blog posts; there will be prompts, check-ins, and a discount code for my eBook for the first 25 people who join. You’ll get to connect with Dani, Kayla, and me, and I’ll also be doing one coaching call with up to ten members who are interested in personalized support and advice. If you’d like to join, we would love to have you! It’s totally free. You can do so here!
