How often have you started your workday with a clear plan and objectives. . .but by the time you pull your head out of your inbox it's lunchtime (or later), and you haven’t actually accomplished anything important? Do you lose precious time hunting for files or emails? Do you wake up at 2am panicking about something you forgot to do?
It doesn't have to be that way. Imagine finishing the day with your desk clean and your mind clear. Imagine being able to drive your strategic priorities rather than always putting out fires.
I’m teaching (via Zoom) a time/workflow management class at the Stanford Continuing Studies Program on Apr 17-18. The material is adapted from my Shingo Research Award-winning book, A Factory of One, which shows you how to apply lean production principles to individual knowledge work. I’ll be including plenty of new material as well. I’m also soliciting issues from students in advance of the class to ensure that I address the challenges that are most relevant to you.
Learn more about the class at the Stanford CSP website here. And of course, if you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.
I hope you can join me.
