Dear fellow End Violence members,
On behalf of MIT Students for Bhopal, it is my pleasure to invite you to a
workshop by Hillary Rettig, coach and author of "Lifelong Activism", which
has changed the lives of many activists including my own. If you've ever
struggled with finding enough time for activism or overcoming
procrastination, this is the workshop you've been waiting for! The workshop
details are below, and also at http://events.mit.edu/event.html?id=14660805.
Please *RSVP* to kshekhar at mit.edu and help us spread the word! Looking
forward to seeing you on Sunday,
Leonid.
*What*: Hillary Rettig's amazing workshop for student activists
*When*: Sunday, November 13, 2011, 10 AM to 5 PM (including a lunch break
from 1 to 2 PM sponsored by the GSC)
*Where*: Room 66-110
Overcoming Procrastination, Perfectionism, Blocks and Fears (10 AM - 1 PM).
This workshop helps participants overcome procrastination and blocks, and
increase their work tempo. We characterize the specific nature of
procrastination, underproductivity and blocks, and explain why people have
trouble overcoming these problems. We also discuss the key procrastination
symptoms of perfectionism, negativity and fear of failure/success. After
precisely characterizing the problem, we discuss solutions, including how
to overcome blocks; how to optimize your work process; and how to find and
work with mentors. After the workshop, participants typically feel
energetic and empowered and eager to go home and make some of the changes
we’ve discussed. Many later report making more progress on their goals than
they have in a long time.
Time Management (2 PM - 5 PM). This workshop begins with a discussion of
how time should be viewed and valued; why one needs to manage it; and how
successful people view and use time. Then we move onto the five
foundational principles of time management, and contrast examples of
managed and unmanaged time schedules. We then discuss right and wrong ways
to use time, lifestyles that support and inhibit success, and techniques
for budgeting and tracking your time. We also discuss how to set
priorities; how to decide and maintain boundaries; and how to “create” time
through delegation and other techniques. Finally, we discuss tips for
sticking to your schedule, and dealing with unsupportive people. After the
workshop, many participants report being more productive and less stressed.
