Double Your Productivity Using Advanced Time Management Strategies

Time management cartoonWe all have the same amount of time: 24 hours a day. Einstein's definition of time is: "The occurrence of events, in sequence, one after the other." The key to time management is event control. The key to controlling the events in your life and doubling your productivity is to have tools and systems in place so that nothing falls through the cracks, you trust that things will be where they're supposed to be when you need them, and things get done.

  • Do you sometimes have a hard time prioritizing?
  • Are important things just not getting done?
  • Have appointments ever fallen through the cracks?
  • Does it ever take you longer than 30 seconds to find something?
  • Do you ever wonder, "Why am I doing this?"
  • Are you a perfectionist?
  • Do you have a hard time delegating?
  • Do you procrastinate?
  • Are you wasting countless hours in unproductive or meaningless meetings?
  • Does your energy ever get zapped by feelings of overwhelm or frustration?

In the The Time Management Workshop, you will learn how to control the events of your life better than you ever have before. You will learn:

  • How to prioritize and stay focused
  • How to clarify your purpose, values, and goals
  • How to manage your (physical) inbox(s)
  • How to manage tasks for multiple projects
  • How to overcome perfectionism
  • How to end procrastination
  • How to delegate effectively
  • How to chair an effective meeting
  • How to create and maintain systems to stay organized
  • How to use technology for greater efficiency to increase your efficiency 100% to 400% or more

How to USE Microsoft Outlook as a high-productivity tool to Double Your Productivity

Audience picYour team has Microsoft Outlook. But are they USING Outlook as the high productivity tool that it is? If not, here's how they can be...

Having a great productivity tool like Outlook and not knowing how to use it effectively is like owning a concert grand piano and only knowing how to play chopsticks. Productivity is a learnable skill. And it's a lot easier to master than being a concert pianist.

  • Is your email Inbox empty at the end of your business day?
  • Does your email Inbox have over 500 emails in it RIGHT NOW?
  • Do you have a strategy for storing emails that allows you to find what you need when you need it?
  • Does it ever take you longer than 30 seconds to find an email?
  • Do appointments ever fall through the cracks?
  • Are you using Contacts efficiently to quickly find and merge letters, labels, envelopes, or emails of selected groups of people for more personalized looking, permissioned based mass (e)mailings?
  • Do you have lots of little notes strewn all around your work area?
  • Do you have a strategy for managing tasks?

Outlook is the tool most people use, or should I say UNDER use, to manage events and data and get things done. Why not learn how to USE Microsoft Outlook 2003 and/or 2007 as a high productivity tool, rather than simply an email program with a calendar? Merging advanced time management strategies with Outlook you will learn:

  • How to have an empty email Inbox at the close of business every day and STILL be able to find what you need at a moment's notice (3 strategies)
  • How to customize Outlook views for maximum productivity
  • How to email merge (and/or regular mail merge) custom groups of people from Outlook contacts for more personalized, professional looking mass (permission) emailing, letters, faxes, labels, or envelopes (much better than distribution lists)
  • How to use Outlook "Tasks" as a highly productive projects and list manager (step-by-step instructions on how to customize Tasks that work within the calendar view)
  • How to manage multiple calendars (if necessary)
  • How to send meeting requests and track them - automatically
  • How to delegate tasks and track them - automatically
  • How to better manage and share contacts
  • How to create and use distribution lists
  • How to import and export data
  • And much more!

Programs can be customized to include the content you want in the time allotted.
