Become Time Rich and Live Your Best Life

There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is. Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. In this talk, Author and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans will share science-based strategies for improving our relationship with time. The techniques that Whillans provides will free up seconds, minutes, and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months that you can reinvest in positive, healthy activities. The science-based strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and build a happier, more fulfilling life for you personally, as well as a happier and more fulfilling workplace experience for your team.  

The event is fully booked and registration is now closed. If you have any questions, please send an email to events@hhs.se
