It was well attended by Chamber members and guest. If you missed the social, you missed a great opportunity to meet other members of the business community and tell them about your business. You also missed a chance to learn more about our local YMCA and all the great things they have available for your family. Be looking for the next Business Social to be announced and put it on your calendar to attend so you won't miss out again.

Lunch and Learn Time Management in a Multi-tasking Society was the topic of the Lunch and Learn held Tuesday, April 9. Dr. Sheri Carder, from Florida Gateway College, gave an informative and humorous presentation on time management, wasting time and how we think we are multi-tasking with our electronics! Some ways to get the most our of your day: 1. Make a to do list that includes tasks that: a) You have to do; b) You should do 2. Keep a calendar 3. Close your office door to cut down on interruptions 4. Don't let email interrupt you 5. Don't let phone calls interrupt you, use your voice mail 6. It's OK to say no 7. Take a lunch break, it will help you be more productive Additional recommendations for time management are to handle every piece of paper that comes across your desk one time; when you assign something, let them do it; pick projects carefully.
