Business Organizing Seminars

Displace Business Disorganization

Do you feel so overwhelmed by “stuff” that you have considered taking a torch to your work clutter? Does the stress associated with these piles of confusion cause you to be less efficient in your professional tasks? This seminar will help expose the habits surrounding “stuff accumulation”. Participants will also learn new methods for handling the items that enter their work space.

Configure Your Work Calendar

Have you tried different types of planners only to abandon them when they don't seem to "work"? Do you maintain several different calendars? The objective of this seminar is for participants to gain knowledge to enable a calendar/planner choice that complements personal preferences and increases personal productivity. Topics include the pros and cons of paper-based versus digital planners as well as features to consider when selecting a planner.

Equipped for E-Mail Effectiveness in the Office

Do you get overwhelmed by the number of e-mails in your Inbox? E-mail seems to appear twice as fast as it can be processed. In addition to the numerous e-mails, a myriad of paper documents may gather on your desk (or the floor and any other available surface). Getting caught up in answering e-mails is a major impediment to the successful completion of other work tasks. We will explore techniques to relieve you of the e-mail burden and its’ “brother” the paper pile and to keep them at bay once and for all!

Optimize Your Office

Do you dread entering your office for fear of the items or tasks that are “lurking”? Would you like to decrease duplication of effort and misplaced information? From identifying some of your biggest productivity stumbling blocks to developing more efficient and effective work processes and habits, this seminar will help you reduce the stress associated with your physical work space.

Systemize Your Work Schedule

Is your stress level high because you are always in “react mode”? Have you ever said, “For once I would like to be ahead of the game.”? This seminar addresses organizing your time in relation to your professional goals. We will explore erasing procrastination, setting priorities, striving for excellence instead of perfection, and delegating unwanted tasks. By learning to create a flexible and balanced schedule, you will be able to complete work tasks more quickly and create time to spend with family and friends.

Tackle the “No Time” Trap

Do you want to hide whenever someone says, “Can you …?” We usually respond in one of two ways: say “yes” without thinking or say “I don’t have any time." Regardless of our answer, we either feel guilty or angry. Our ability to feel satisfied with how we use our time at the office hinges on identifying time wasters, interruption sources, ineffective to-do list formats, inadequate calendaring methods, and inability to say “no” successfully. This seminar will explore techniques to improve your ability to avoid such barriers during your workday.
