Today on the show I have guest Bonnie Joy Dewkett and we’re talking about getting organized and learning how to reclaim your time. This is a topic near and dear to my heart as work life balance can be a challenge in this crazy, busy world we live in.

Here are some highlights from our chat:

• Discuss how to minimize meeting time
• Talk about how to get the most out of time spent with coworkers/employees
• Break down how to take back your day and accomplish what really needs to get done
• Discuss the importance of giving up being a firefighter — how to stop putting out fires
• Talk about how to leave work on time and achieve a better life balance.
