MET workshops
How to become your most efficient, creative and serene self
In this world of “infobesity”, we are inundated with demands on our attention – distractions are a common complaint in today’s fast-paced working environments. The temptation to (try to) multi-task can be difficult to overcome. However, that often translates as flitting from one thing to another or scrolling aimlessly. As a result, many knowledge workers can end up feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
Facilitator: Emma Paulay
Purpose: To outline a method for organizing all your work and personal “stuff” into a coherent system and experiment with a new approach to what “doing” is and what “done” looks like.
Description/structure: The workshop will give you some guidelines for setting up your personal system and examine five steps to gaining control:
- Capture
- Clarify
- Organize
- Reflect
- Engage
Who should attend? Anyone who wants to get sh*t done and feel great about it.
Outcome skills: By the end of this workshop, participants will have mapped out their system and be able to turn a pile of “stuff” (emails, ideas, messages, etc.) into a list of concrete actions. They will know how to recognize when they are not at their most efficient, and how to get back in “the zone”. They will leave with tactics for managing their focus and their projects.
Preparation: Participants will receive a list of applications to explore before the workshop. They should bring their to-do lists, diaries, schedules, etc.
