“Eat the frog” and Other Time Management Skills

Posted on July 6, 2017 - Posted in: Blog

You already know that time management is an important skill. Having a handle on where you time helps you get your work done, manage stress, and help you schedule in important stuff outside of school and work like, you know, life.

Sometimes we put off tasks that we dread, but the downside is that this gives them time to build up to epic, insurmountable proportions in our mind.

You can thank Mark Twain for that little nugget of wisdom.
