Most time-management advice assumes the problem is your calendar. In accounting, the bigger problem is often that the math does not work: more requests, more deadlines, and more responsibility than the available hours can reasonably hold. This course helps professionals stop treating every task as equally important, make sharper tradeoffs, and build a more deliberate approach to priorities. Participants leave with a practical system for deciding what deserves their time, what does not, and what needs to change when capacity is already full.
