Join us for Time Smart – How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life (Webinar) on Tuesday, February 23 at 7 PM.

According to recent studies, there’s an 80 percent chance you’re time poor. What does time poor mean? Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. What’s worse, time-poor people experience less joy each day. Studies show that people who are time poor are also less healthy and less productive, and are more likely to divorce. In one study, stress cause by a lack of time produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment. How can we escape the “time traps” that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives?

In this program, author and Harvard Business School Professor Ashley Whillans will share proven strategies for improving your “time affluence.” These scientifically-grounded techniques will free up your seconds, minutes and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months for you to reinvest in positive, healthy activities. The strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and in the process build a happier, more fulfilling life.

By participating in this program, you can expect to learn:

  • what time poverty is;
  • about three “time traps;”
  • and three strategies for overcoming these “time traps.”

This program is presented by Ashley Whillians and is hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation.
