So Many Articles, So Little Time

Tackling Your Reading Pile To Earn And Learn More – Teleseminar

Never getting to those industry newsletters and emails you subscribe to? Having trouble keeping up with in depth news articles? This 30-minute audiocast will give you the strategies you need to finally get your “to-read” pile under control.

Working with Lori and More Time For You was perfect for me. I had taken time management classes and read books, but nothing ever stuck. I really need something developed just for me that worked with the I.T. devices I use at home and at work. I could not keep up with my personal/work appointments or all of the email I was receiving. I was too disorganized to be responsive to my clients and make my appointments on time.

With Lori’s help, I was able to prioritize. She found the apps and software I needed to work with what I already had. Now, I have one calendar, one task list –which she trained me to use effectively – and, I prioritize my emails and tasks. I went from having thousands of emails in my in-box to less than twenty at any given time.

I really feel that Lori listened to my needs, quickly picked up on my personal challenges, and created a great solution just for me. She was a pleasure to work with and I’ll be checking in with her if I fall back on bad habits. For now – I’m feeling more in control of my schedule and life and doing my job better thanks to Lori!!
