Here's What You'll Get At Your LIVE Event

Productivity principles and tactics to overcome email overwhelm

BONUS: Time-Saving Shortcuts: 

Time and time again when we run the test, it takes about half the time to do something in Outlook by using keyboard shortcuts.

We are not saying that using the mouse is wrong! Use mouse or keyboard depending on where your hands are.

But that usiong keyboard shortcuts saves you many minutes every day and makes your life easier.

We don't limit the shortcout tips to Outlook.  We also introduce time-saving tricks in Windows.

First FAT, then ACT

Efficient email management is people's number 1 productivity challenge. This helps: Make high-level decisions about what to do with your email: File it, Action it or Trash it.

Organise your email into high-level categories using Quick Steps. Never used them?  Join us and learn how to save time and have less frustration.

Then get into the details and make your work visible and actionable.

You start your day - where?

Your Inbox typically represent other people's agendas - not yours. 

Why start your day being overwhelmed by random priorities of other people?

Start your day proactively, reviewing your agenda - not looking at what other people want you to do, i.e., your Inbox.
Re-take charge of your where you begin your day - don't be a victim.

Things never to leave in your Inbox

Where do you keep telephone numbers? Addresses? Banking details? Inspirational quotes? Details of your vehicle registration? Notes of conversations with others?

Many people leave information like this in the email and leave it in their Inbox. 

And then they struggle to find it again.

Thers is a super-easy way to get stuff out of your Inbox and find what you want 'in the background'.

Search Folders to the rescue!

How Rules help to declutter your Inbox

Do you get emails that you were CC-ed on, and yet the sender asks you to do something?  CC is for Courtesy Copy.  Set up your system (and educate your colleagues) so that CC Mails get managed outside of your Inbox.

Pay attention to things that require your input.

How do you follow up?  Hope you remember that someone still owes you something?  Flag for follow up, only to be drowned in an avalanche of Reminders?

What's next?

If you like what you see in this webinar, we arrange a one-on-one conversation, or an online Boardroom Briefing for you, your team, and others involved in evaluating and deciding on possible collaboration.

Just send me an email after or during the webinar, and we will set up a conversation to see if and how we could work together in your productivity improvement initiative.

Your facilitator:  Duncan Hattingh

As the voicemail message on his cell phone says: ”If I can’t take your call, I am either in a workshop or out cycling!”

Duncan’s industrial engineering background and his love of the “ooh” and “aahhh” moments when people learn a really cool trick in MS Outlook are his inspiration and motivation in helping people use their technology in ways that make them more productive.

Was there life before the Internet, cell phones and gadgets? Duncan’s glad he missed it!
