How to Accomplish More While Working Less
Do you…

feel overwhelmed by everything you need to do and don’t know where to start?
let tasks fall through the cracks that later turn into emergencies?
keep thinking about work, even when you are trying to spend quality time with your family or friends?
have trouble falling asleep because so many thoughts are bouncing around your mind?

Imagine how good it would feel to leave work an hour earlier each day, being confident that you worked on exactly the right things that day, and be 100% present with your family, with no thoughts of work distracting you.
What if…

you were finally able to work fewer hours and spend more time with your family and friends?
you had more energy on the weekends to enjoy the things you love doing, instead of feeling stressed out and burned out?

That’s exactly why I created this free workshop to start you on the road from being crazy busy and stressed out to accomplishing more while working less and having more time and energy to enjoy your life.
In this workshop, you will learn

The two biggest mistakes that keep you from accomplishing more each day, so that you can get more done in less time.
The two most important items on your desk and how to use them to keep your mind clear, so that you can stay focused and start working less and accomplishing more.

• The two key questions you must ask about everything that has your attention, so that you can immediately start feeling more in control of your work.
Please join us at Rev: Ithaca Startup Works on September 6, 2019 at 9:30 am.
