Consulting Services: The More Productive Now! Program

WHAT IT IS

The More Productive Now!^™ program is for executives, teams, and organizations who want to be more organized and productive in their daily lives.

The program teaches a set of simple techniques and tools, and also enhances your use of technology, most notably Microsoft Outlook, to help you rapidly get control of your day and your commitments.

The objectives of the More Productive Now!^™ program are:

• To stay on top of your to-do's and your workload
• To have your commitments managed in such a way that you can devote all of your attention to each task at hand as you are doing it
• To stop feeling buried and behind in your projects and tasks at hand
• To live and work at a high level of efficiency and effectiveness
• To experience a feeling of calm and relaxation, rather than stress, surrounding your task and project management

HOW IT WORKS

The program is available though one-on-one coaching and also via team or departmental seminars.

More Productive Now!^™ coaching involves a series of individualized sessions. Depending on your location and needs, these are delivered either in person or via telephone and simultaneous Internet-connected web conference in which your PC's screen is shared.

During these sessions, we'll first analyze the way you work: how you spend your time, how you remember to do things, your use of technology, etc. Then we'll work together to transform your organizational practices and give you new mastery in the area of personal productivity, freedom and ease.

Specifically, you will learn how to:

• Get and keep your Outlook Inbox empty
• File your e-mail so it’s readily available when needed
• Effectively record and manage your to-do’s and commitments
• Prioritize your tasks in a way that works
• Plan projects and keep them moving
• Stay on top of delegated or “waiting for someone else” tasks
• Keep your desk, papers, and files organized

Following these coaching sessions, we are available on an as-needed basis for any questions and refreshers that you may need.

We use Microsoft Outlook as the hub of your organizational world, supplemented by a few ancillary tools and applications, such as Microsoft OneNote and ClearContext, where appropriate. While this technology is important, it serves as the means to increased productivity and organization; the real key to the More Productive Now!^™ program is the set of principles and methodologies in which the technology is used.

In addition to our individualized coaching, More Productive Now!^™ seminars can be delivered to your organization or team in person or via web conferencing.
