so the way it word wrapped i saw 'Federal Employee in search of a good Time'... maybe a better word would have been 'effective'! assumed it was some snarky post about the GSA AZ event last year...

I took a course based on the book 'getting things done'. They call it the GTD method and I have found it really helpful. They have courses in the DC area a few times a year.

My dh works for Learning Tree, I know they offer something like what you describe. Www.learningtree.com

DH and I are federal employees and both work jobs that have high-demand/high-output expectations. We're thinking that it'd be nice to take a 1-3 day training on Time Management together. If you know of any such opportunities in the DC/VA/MD area please recommend. Doesn't matter if it's offered by a private sector, non-profit, or government entity - as long as it is open to the public.

Also, if you know of any trainings that were helpful in your professional development, please share those as well.

TIA!!
