How to Get Things Done

We’re all overwhelmed with ‘too much to do’ in too little time and a constant sense of information overload. Most ‘time management’ courses focus on trying to manage time, but time isn’t usually the problem (and indeed it can’t be ‘managed’) – it’s about your choices, actions, attention and energy.

Workflow– the art of dealing effectively with the sheer volume of commitments and potential commitments that enter our lives – is what we all need to focus on.

At this workshop, Russell Caird from Think Productive will give you tips and tricks to implement a simple, foolproof system to organise and define your work. You’ll learn about how to deal with interruptions, paperwork, creativeideas, information and unmanaged com­mitments and how to define, organise and prioritise the important actions.

Most importantly of all, you’ll learn how to reduce stress by eliminating those nagging feelings of doubt, guilt and ‘overload panic’ and replace them with a playful, purposeful and productive momentum.

During the session, you’ll learn about

• Overcoming ‘information overload’ and stress
• Practical principles to deal with the five key phases of workflow
• Working out where your current workflow strengths and weaknesses lie
• Key productivity theories that work
• Practical tools to manage and reduce interruptions
• The power of batch-processing and context-based thinking
• The 80-20 principle and two-minute rule to increase your productivity
