Folding Time: How to Achieve Twice As Much in Half the Time

You don't have time to do everything you only have time to do everything that matters! If we can get clear about those activities that make the biggest difference to our productivity we can get more done in less time and free ourselves up to get on with whatever else we choose.

This keynote is perfect for leaders who want more control so they can manage their time, focus their attention and manage their energy.

In this keynote you will learn:

  • How to achieve strategic clarity and prioritize

  • Strategies to fold time

  • Energy management versus time management

  • Why you should systemize the mundane

  • Strategies to increase meeting effectiveness

  • How to control your technology platforms

  • How to identify and leverage your work style

  • How to create a productive personal action plan for implementation and measurable results

Never underestimate the freedom to choose what you work on. By ridding ourselves of obligation, poor work methods or egocentric practices we can get more done in less time. Often our work is an 'unconscious doing' rather than a 'conscious choosing'. If you need more hours in the day, work back after everyone has gone home, or find yourself taking work home almost every day then you may be stuck in a productivity trap – this keynote is for you.
