VGCC Offers Seminar on Getting, Staying Organized

Vance-Granville Community College’s Small Business Center will present a free seminar that will help residents improve their organization skills to save time and money. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. until noon in room 7107 of Building 7 on the college’s main campus in Vance County.

Experts say that the average American worker loses at least two weeks’ worth of time each year looking for lost or misplaced items. This seminar can help participants to avoid the costly clutter and personal disorganization that causes stress. Topics include: how to reduce clutter; how to quickly find what you need; how to maximize space; the “four pile” strategy for dealing with information; how to use your personality style to create an organizing style; and how to find the always-elusive “more time.”

Mike Collins, who is president of The Perfect Workday Company in Raleigh and has led numerous seminars at VGCC in the past, will lead the three-hour seminar.

VGCC Small Business Center Director Diane Finch advised that space is limited for this free seminar. To reserve a seat, pre-register by calling the Small Business Center at (252) 492-2061, ext. 3239, or ext. 3240.
