Nine Steps to More Efficient Use of Your Desk: Actual & Virtual

 

 

It Was Never About Time Management Anyway! (AM Session)

After Pam interviewed hundreds of individuals over the last 10 years, she noticed a disturbing refrain- “I was so incredibly busy today, and I got nothing done!” Interviewees stated that it was impossible to get things done and felt frustrated that email, cell phones, human expectations, and even their needs for sleep, “demanded” so much time--time they did not have! Pam has termed this dilemma FDD, Focus Deficit Disorder--the deficiency we feel from having so much demand on our attention. Take a creative look at focus from a different angle, and learn how to respond to the growing need for human attention in our technological world. Pam will explain the nine ways of viewing time and focus. Learn your particular style and how you can improve your focus of attention by controlling some of your short-comings and maximizing your assets. Also learn how you might work better with colleagues who have different styles.

Nine Steps to More Efficient Use of Your Desk: Actual & Virtual (PM Session)

You certainly have heard “handle a piece of paper only once!” Ever found that hard to do? Of course, because the technology revolution did keep its promise to give you a paperless society. In fact, it created another in-box—your mountains of e-mails. How do you manage it all more efficiently? Hear Pam’s nine steps to a more organized physical and virtual desk. Learn how to move paper and e-mails more productively and more quickly. Learn the power of a simple strategy called EOM and shave minutes off the time you spend on e-mails. Hear about the best kept secrets of managing those piles of paper on your desk. Finish the afternoon session with a change of pace from high efficiency to high efficacy. Examine how you spend your life after managing your desk, e-mails, priorities and interruptions. Find out how to have the time of your life
and get your work done too! Pam will take you through activities that help you simplify your life and discover the value of more “you time.”
