Advertising Description:
When it comes to the work you do, who’s in charge—you or your work? It can certainly be easy to get overwhelmed! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just be in command of the numerous responsibilities you have to manage every day, both personally and at work? This lively program will provide you with proven and practical information that you can immediately begin implementing in your life. GTD® Essentials provides you with a logical, step-by-step approach to help you increase your productivity—at home and at work.
Quote from a GTD participant:
GTD has helped out enormously in my organization techniques. The greatest benefit of this system has allowed me to successfully incorporate the duties of two positions in our department with my previous duties, without causing me a lot of undue stress. I am immensely grateful for that.
I am able to prioritize my new duties, delegate actions to support staff and maintain a manageable e-mail inbox, thanks in part to the skills I learned in the GTD seminar. I recommend it to my colleagues in my department as well as acquaintances in the UIHC. -
