“We respond to things emotionally faster than we do logically.”
Time is precious. There are so many things to do and there are even more distractions. Maybe the hardest things to overcome in the game of time are our own habits and mindsets related to work and relaxation. Steve Prentice suggests slowing down, BUT that doesn’t mean moving slowly. It means being in control. He’s mastered time management through an emphasis on living intentionally. He’s isolated and found solutions for many work related behaviours and patterns that hinder efficiency and health.
Steve Prentice is an author, speaker, mentor, and project manager who helps people find better ways to blend talent, technology, and time. He’s the author of two best-selling books, Cool Time - A Hands On Plan For Managing Work And Balancing Time, and Cool Down - Getting Further By Going Slower. As president of the consulting firm, The Bristall Group, he delivers workshops in time management, project management, business writing.
