Event:

Join us for a webinar version of one of the most impactful sessions from the 2025 MSL Fall Director and Trustee Workshop.

This webinar WILL NOT be recorded.

Attendees will receive 1 credit in Library Administration.

Pre-registration is not available.  Attendees will have credit manually assigned after the webinar.

Do you ever feel you are rushing from one appointment to the next? Does your to-do list seem to grow throughout the day rather than shrink? Do you ever wish there were more than 24 hours in the day? When we feel that our lives and schedules are out of control, we feel stressed and overwhelmed. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. How are you going to spend your “24”? Learning to manage your time so that it doesn’t manage you is the first step in using your “24” more effectively and living a life that reflects your priorities, goals, and values. 

Library leaders and staff will learn about time management that will help get more done by prioritizing what matters.

Reflection Questions

• What are some items on your “Things I Don’t Do” and “Things I Do” lists?
• Do you experience decision fatigue? How does it impact your daily life?
• Do you know the seasons and rhythms of your life? What are some small steps you can take to plan your schedule/commitments around those seasons and rhythms?
• If you struggle with overcommitting yourself, what are some of the factors that lead to you overcommitting? How do you start to feel, what to you do when you have overcommitted yourself? 
• Think about the concept of your individual capacity and answer the following questions: What is a workload/work schedule that feels doable for you so that you are able to stay regulated, productive, and relational? What is a workload/work schedule that feels too much and you start to feel overwhelmed and resentful?
