Course Description

Getting Things Done training isn’t just about getting more things done. It’s about learning how to be more appropriately engaged with your work and life. In this course, participants will learn and practice new behaviors to engage more effectively with their to-dos and commitments, so they can focus their attention on things that matter most and create more mental space at work and at home. Getting Things Done is a system that teaches skills to manage the constant flow of requests, tasks, and interruptions people face at all levels of the organization.  In this workshop, participants will learn powerful methods to capture, clarify and organize incoming requests to increase their focus on their most meaningful work, creating mental space for innovation, and the conditions to achieve stress-free productivity.
