You’re busy. Constantly. But at the end of the week, what did you accomplish that truly mattered to you?

We all experience waste in our daily lives: unused subscriptions, inefficient errands, overthinking, unfinished projects, skills we’re not using, time spent waiting for “someday.” Some waste is imposed on us – like traffic, bureaucracy, other people’s poor planning. But much of it we create ourselves.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn a simple framework to identify eight types of waste showing up in your own life. Through honest self-reflection, you’ll map one typical day and see where your time, energy, and resources disappear – and more importantly, which wastes you’re consciously choosing.

This isn’t about productivity hacks or optimizing every minute – in fact, let’s stop doing that too. It’s about seeing clearly so you can choose how to spend your time intentionally.

You’ll leave with a simple personal waste audit and one small experiment to reclaim what matters. Bring your honesty and curiosity. Leave with clarity about what’s really stealing your time – and what you’re going to do about it.

Learning Objectives:

• Map the eight types of waste showing up in their daily life using the Downtime Framework
• Distinguish between waste they create versus waste imposed on them to focus energy wisely
• Design one small experiment to reclaim time, energy, or resources currently lost to self-created waste
