If you’ve ever struggled to find the time to get the things done you want to get done, or to finish your day feeling you’ve been productive and on-task, then do we have the time management show for you!
Today I’ll be talking with Jocelyn K. Glei, formerly editor-in-chief and director of 99u.com and the editor of a new favorite book on organization I wish I’d had years ago, Manage Your Day-to-Day.
