Strategic Approaches to Managing Your Workload
$200.00
Dates: November 6 - December 3May 6 - April 7
Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
We’ve been asked to “do more with less” for more than a decade. Not surprisingly, burnout has become a significant issue in libraries. When your plate is overflowing with work, it can seem like there is no time to do anything but react, which obstructs your ability to develop strategies to more effectively manage the workload. Taking time to reflect and prioritize can feel like a luxury you can’t afford in that context, but it’s critical to adopting a strategic approach to managing the many demands on your time.
This course will discuss strategies, while also providing space for you to take that time to reflect and prioritize your work. This course will address:
- Key components in developing a strategy for managing your workload
- Some “productivity tools” that can be useful in managing your workload
- Strategies for saying “no” to requests that you take on more work
