173 - Managing Your Time in Times Like These With Paul Casey

"Time is a created thing. To say 'I don’t have time' is to say 'I don’t want to.'"  - Lao Tzu April has been the longest five years of my life.  Last week I actually (for the first time in my adult life) lost track of what day of the week it was.  Have you been having any times like this lately? Right now, we're all being challenged with thinking differently and doing things differently....including managing our time.  Time is a commodity.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  On this episode, I get to talk with expert Paul Casey about how to make the most of your time when your juggling multiple endeavors in a new environment.  I think you'll dig it as much as I did...and have some fun in the process.   CHEERS! More on Paul.... Originally from Chicago, Paul has now been a professional speaker for over 24 years (now giving over 65 presentations per year), and he is one of the leading authorities in leadership and personal growth—especially time management—helping people take back their calendars and restore sanity to their lives. He has spoken for organizations like McDonalds, Subway, Lamb Weston, Northwest Public Power, and Autozone—and among others, he coaches 20 leaders at Pacific NW National Laboratories and 15 leaders at Columbia Basin College. Paul has a Master’s degree in education, and has been an educator/administrator/Chief Operating Officer in 5 non-profit organizations.
