5:00 pm – 6:00 pm Pacific

The focus of this call is to give you tips to help you be more effective in your work environment. Did you know that when managers were surveyed, 49% felt they are often unable to handle the volumes of information received, 38% wasted substantial time trying to locate information and 47% said that the collection of information distracted from their main job responsibilities?

We will discuss ideas related to setting up your work space for greater efficiency, how to organize your files logically, and manage the information that comes to you from all different directions. We will look at how email has enslaved us and reduced our level of productivity. In a recent Forbes article it was said that the average number of corporate e-mails sent and received per person per day is expected to reach over 228 by 2010. This problem of email overload is fundamentally behavioral. We will discuss what boundaries we can set up to better control our email. Also learn how to empty, or at least reduce, your email in box! We will also focus on using weekly planning as a way to increase your productivity and focus so that you can get more done in less time and feel great at the end of the day!
These techniques can be easily integrated into your work/life today to begin to save you time, energy, and relieve your anxiety!
You will learn:
  • How to set up your work area to be more efficient.
  • How to control your email, rather than your email controlling you!
  • Discover a simple tool to help you be more effective during your work week.
