Time Management: Be More Productive in 2009 February 5, 2009

How we as women manage our time and daily activities can be one of our greatest assets, but without good time management and prioritization skills, we may suffer from increased stress and disappointment from not reaching goals.

Join GABA's Women in Business Group and fellow women professionals for this casual wine and cheese mixer, to discuss professional growth and successes, roles for women working in the Bay Area, and other workforce topics. Please bring YOUR story to share with the group during open discussion.

Specific topics to be discussed will include:
- Identify ways participants use time effectively and ineffectively
- Outline personal goals using the SMART goal setting technique
- Establish a task rating system based on your goals and allocate the appropriate time for each
