Managing Interruptions: Electronic Messages and Others Webinar

Words: Mason ContractorsThe Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) will present “Managing Interruptions: Electronic Messages and Others” on Wednesday, June 28, 2017 at 10:00 AM CDT.

These days so much time and effort is consumed by responding to electronics and email. Many people experience an almost tyrannical enslavement to this, and feel like they spend half their time (or more!) dealing with electronic communication. This interactive webinar will provide tips, tools and insights to help participants get control of the electronic monster and their time in general, and put things in a priority centered perspective.

Learning Objectives:
  1. Learn to organize all electronic communication according to overall priorities, and to be more proactive and less reactive.
  2. Be aware of email pitfalls and learn effective methods and tips to save time.
  3. Learn productive methods to organize your in-box and folders, and set-up automatic assistants to help you stay on top of emails.
Mason contractors registered for Masonry Certification will receive 1.00 credits in the Ethics & Business Practices discipline upon completion of this course.

This webinar is free to all attendees. Register for “Managing Interruptions: Electronic Messages and Others” at www.masoncontractors.org/live.
