Time management - Quickly and easily yourself and your time, while still remaining flexible.

Features

A simple, powerful and practical methodology that is easy to learn, use and sustain both at work and at home. Suitable for a wide variety of personality types and learning styles. Clear separation between information, intentions and tasks. Integrates with a variety of computer-based task management and shared diary systems. Based on a specially designed and easy to use paper-based compact binder and appointments diary. The binder is used in combination with a few simple techniques. These techniques take only a few minutes to learn and are easy to apply. The sessions focus on you using these techniques to create and start using your own simple, practical and effective time-management system, that meets your particular needs in your current circumstances and ways of living and working. 1 day needed to set up and start using the system.

Benefits

Spend most of your time on what matters to you most. The system you create for yourself will take into consideration both your work and non-work priorities and commitments. The system will enable you to remain flexible and spontaneous in the moment about how to use your time. The system you create for yourself will also enable you to combine: i) dealing with un-expected tasks, as they arise ii) doing short-term planned tasks iii) working towards fulfilling any medium or long-term intentions that you may have.

Workflow - File or find anything, quickly and easily.

Features

Create your own practical workflow and information system. Simple and powerful paper-handling and filing system methodology that is easy to learn, use and sustain both at work and at home. Uses inexpensive and environmentally responsible materials. Able to deal with a large number of files and a high level of complexity. Integrates your paper-based system with any PC-based email, filing or voice-mail systems (mobile, other), as well as any other computer-based workflow application. Up to 2 days needed to set up and start using the paper-based and computer-based systems.

Benefits

The filing materials are used with a few simple techniques, which take only a few minutes to learn. This means the sessions focus on you using the techniques to create a way of handling and storing paper that meets your particular needs, and takes into consideration your current circumstances and ways of living and working. A similar approach is then used to set up your computer-based filing system (e.g. documents, media files, emails, voice mails, texts). Because the paper and computer systems use a uniform approach, they are able to work together smoothly, side-by-side, which improves overall productivity. Once you have created your system, you will be able to find or file anything in your integrated paper-based and computer-based system within 15 seconds; and make it easier for others to do so too.

Distinctiveness of overall approach

All sessions are 1-to-1 and progress at a pace that best suits the way that you learn. The tools are easy to learn and apply. They consistently produce significant, measurable, sustainable results, quickly, in a variety of settings. The training is compatible with a variety of learning styles and personality types and is suitable for people of all ages (see testimonials). The personal time-management and workflow systems that are created during the training can easily link with other systems (paper/computer).They are also highly integrated so that paper and computer-based files or emails can easily be linked with one or more associated tasks. If the time-management and workflow tools are combined with the outcome of a retreat, day-to-day decisions can be made in the context of what matters most to a person over the longer term.
