Description

Program Overview

There are three key strategies needed to get control of email;

• WHEN – you must get control of when you give your attention to this aspect of your work
• WHAT – you need a consistent and effective method or system for processing email
• WHERE – you want to be able to file and retrieve email easily and quickly

This program looks at a whole new approach to managing your email that shifts your working focus from being inbox-based, interruption-driven and reactive to one that is calendar-based, plan-driven and proactive. You’ll learn how to manage email in a structured, rather than unstructured, way; how to address email with full rather than partial attention; how to single-task rather than multi-task; how to be proactive rather than reactive to email.

The first step to this program is to complete Triage Your Inbox, which is now a separate program to the rest of Revolutionise Your Inbox.

All other workshops (including a free Review and Coaching Session) are listed below:

• Email & Calendar Integration
• File & Folder Management
• Attention & Focus Management
• Automation & Leverage

All workshops can be purchased separately, or as a package for a special price.  For all options, please click here.

Here’s an overview of the content covered in this workshop:

Attention & Focus Management (90 mins)

Now that you have a better process for managing incoming email and the workload it delivers, let’s have a look at getting control of your focus and attentions so you can leverage these new skills and practices.

The WHEN Strategy

• Have a structured approach (proactive vs reactive)
• The way you start your day matters – set up your calendar as your default view
• Overcoming the first hurdle of the day – schedule time for email
• Review of various models of frequency for checking your inbox
• Turn off all email alerts to minimise interruptions
• Work offline options so you can stay focused even when working in the inbox
• Manage and clarify expectations about email responsiveness when working with others

What you learn will help to reduce email interruptions, distractions and multi-tasking, massively improve your focus and productivity and save you at least 19 minutes per day (ie: more than 9 days per year).

Review & Coaching Session (90 mins)

This final workshop is critically important for ensuring you maximise your results from this program.

In this Q&A style interactive workshop we will;

• Review your progress
• Share your successes and breakthroughs
• Fine-tune your new email and workload management practices
• Troubleshoot any obstacles you may have had in implementing your new learnings
• Collect your feedback and observations
• Preview options for future next steps
