Nitty-Gritty TeleForum  Time Management

Are you caught in the vicious circle of spending all your time trying to earn enough money to pay the bills and spending no time on the marketing you know your design business needs?

It's a problem all entrepreneurs face and design business owners perhaps even more so. The unpredictability of managing client interactions can seem like herding cats and our best intentions can fly out the window... day after day.

Stop the vicious circle and join us at the AIGA Nitty-Gritty TeleForum on for 60 minutes on Wednesday, December 6th. We'll discuss and share proven tips and tricks for managing ourselves and our time. Learn some of your fellow AIGA member's favorite time management tricks:

• The Four Quadrants
• 43 Folders
• Losing The Monkey & Keeping Focus
• Time Blocking
• Making Email Your Friend
• Shared Tips & Tricks

For those of you who are new to our TeleForum calls:

1. Pick up your telephone and dial the phone number, but please do not call early.

2. After one ring, you will be automatically connected to the TeleForum. No operators, no waiting.

3. During the call, feel free to speak up and share as appropriate, always using your first name and city.

4. If you call in using a speaker phone or cell phone please be prepared to "mute" except when you are speaking during the call. Just press *6 to toggle the mute on and off. This ensures the best possible call quality for all participants. We welcome multiple participants from your design firm. As there is no fee for the call you may find it easiest for each participant to call in on a separate line.

5. You can come and go as you please during the call, so if you need to step away for a few minutes, please just hang up and dial back in.

Note: There is a long distance call charge for your call into the conference center, but the 60 minute call should not cost more than $3 -$4. If you don't have a good long distance plan, try picking up a phone card from Walmart.
