Session Description: A new and imperative skill recently entered the workforce. It is daring people to be efficient while working from home. Traditional work settings faced reconstruction, and many people found themselves working from home with the onset of COVID-19. While working from home may not be new for everyone, this is an opportunity to sharpen your skillset. Remember, there is always room for improvement, and that isn’t a bad thing!

In this session, attendees will learn how to manage their time and organizational skills and learn techniques to achieve ultimate efficiency, like minimizing distractions from loved ones. Discover how to schedule tasks according to their priority level and how to determine which tasks can be pushed to another day. The session will conclude with a discussion on how to bring these skills together, which will allow you to become more efficient while working from home.
