Go From Reactive to Proactive

Series

Do you feel like you are sometimes running around like a chicken with no head, and yet aren't getting anything accomplished? 

Do you wish there were more hours in a day? 

If yes, this 9-week teleclass can give you the tools to create systems that support you in accomplishing your goals, and building structures that will support you. 

Each week will be devoted to the following topics:

1) Situation assessment

Analyze what is and isn't working in your present systems. This will give you clues to your work style, and where to devote your attention.

2) Clear and optimize your office

Paper and space management can make a huge difference in a day. Studies show that people spend on average 55 minutes a day looking for stuff. during this session, we'll review the principles of space organizing, and start to plan your own solutions.

3) Corral all those papers!

This class is the continuation of the last one, but this time focusing on papers. You will learn your paper management style, the tools you need, and get an action plan in place to make your files systems that serve you rather than slow you down.

4) (Re-) discover your goals

In the hustle of daily life, it is easy to lose sight of the goals and dreams we have. This session will reconnect you with yours, and help you create a plan of action to make them happen.

5) Clear and clarify your day

This session will show you how to create a backbone to your week, make sure that nothing falls through the cracks and that you work towards your goals every day. 

6) Streamline your routines

There are many things we do just because we've always done them this way. Examining all your habits can unlock efficiencies in the most unexpected places. We will therefore look how we can change our habits and routines to make them serve us better. 

7) Delegate! Get help!

There are so many things we do ourselves that could be done more effectively and more profitably (for us) by someone else! In this session, we will examine some of the options you have to get help, and what to get help for. 

8) Manage stress

Even for the most effective of us, there are stressful moments. This session will examine how to deal with those, and how to make sure that stress levels never increase beyond your healthy level. 

9) Make sure that the systems stay in place

In this final session, we'll see how to make sure that the tools and support systems you have built stay active over the long term. 

Start Date: September 6, 2005, at 8:00PM, and every Tuesday thereafter for 9 weeks.
