| Winter has mostly past and spring is upon us. For me, living in the northeast, it always feels as if there is a special rush in the air this time of year as I look to complete my obligations just a little earlier so I can get out and enjoy some wonderful spring air. This issue will focus on some different ways to look at Time Management and some useful tools and strategies for making the best of each moment. Also be sure to check out the new links on my website highlighted on the right column of this newsletter. Be sure to join my PTS Coaching Facebook page where I post current events, news articles, and active discussion. Enjoy!

Parenting Tip
of the Month
Asking your child to come inside after 20 minutes might be difficult for them to do without concrete assistance. Give them a timer or watch with an alarm so they can be responsible themselves. Then they will learn to keep better track of time on their own. Think "Build Skills"
