Creative Secrets to Managing Money, Time and Happiness

“I can see no reason to be bound by time,” Jeanette Winterson wrote.  “As far as we know, the universe is not bound by it.”  And yet, we are bound by it, we are managed by it, and we never seem to have enough of it.  Our money works the same way.  Fueled by frustration on the existing research and strategies for time management (Example: “Just get up earlier!”) and budgeting for unpredictable artistic careers (Example: “Set aside 10% of your annual earnings!”), this session explores the intersection of time, money, and creative fulfillment.

 Activities will focus on using time as a tool for maximizing UTILS – the utility value of life and budgeting tips and tricks to prioritize those same UTILS.  Come prepared with an idea of how you spent your time in the seven days leading up to the workshop (Netflix binges and all) and a sense of your expenses for the previous month.
