Getting Your Life Organized

Mar 25, 2019

Did you take your medication? Did you get your prescription refilled? Do you already have something on your schedule, or are you free to go do something? These questions come up on a daily basis, and sometimes the answer is just beyond our reach. If you had somebody or something to REMIND you to do something, chances are you’d be living life a lot more easily. A couple of students from the the Next Steps program at Vanderbilt are going to share some of the tips they’ve been learning (with an assist from a graduate student). This will be an interactive class, so bring your smart phone with you. That’s probably the only sure thing you DON’T need a reminder for!!
