Not to worry—in this course, join best-selling author and executive coach Dr. Don Gilman as he shows you how to make the most of your time by getting a grip on your time management workflow and lending structure to your work environment. Learn to use strategic-planning tools more effectively and with ease, delegating some of your work to others and managing that vicious beast: your dreaded email inbox.
Staying Organized While Working Remotely or On-Site (33minutes)
One of the biggest drains on time, money, and mental well-being is the time you spend working that is not focused on your actual work. Whether you’re in an office or working remotely, if your workspace and work routine are unorganized, you may constantly feel like you’re behind in your tasks. The time you spend organizing and cleaning up your workspace robs you of time you can spend completing your work, which just lengthens your workday. In this course, organization expert Amy Fritz teaches you how to organize your workspace and prepare your work environment to get the most done every day. From organizing your desk and managing your calendar, to managing your to-do list, Amy shows you how to stay organized. She also offers specialized advice for multitasking, maximizing break times, and ongoing maintenance for a perfect workspace.
