> 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.
