Most people believe that a 'to do list' is the
most effective time management tool ....

now have a very different perspective!

I feel if I implement the system (and stick to it) my overall work life balance
and performance will improve. Thanks."

This is an exclusive seminar only available through RC60 and Associates

'To Do' Lists Focus on Activity, Not Results...

If you are one of the many people who use 'to do' lists, do you regularly find that the list is longer by the end of the day or week than it ever was at the beginning? Do you ever get to the end of a day or week and think, "I know I have been busy but I cannot say what I have actually achieved." How effective are you at evidencing in your performance management review meeting what you have achieved and where you have spent yout time?

Most time management training courses suggest using 'to do lists' which are action driven instead of results focused. This means that people in business teams too often focus on activity that makes them look busy, and what they want to do or feel most comfortable in doing, instead of what will contribute towards the overall business goals or objectives.

This system works in parallel with individual performance management systems to keep a SIMPLE daily record of RESULTS achieved that contribute fully towards the business objectives AND keep people focused and motivated on a daily basis.

We also show people how to handle common time management issues such as procrastination, distractions and managing difficult people by providing a proven time management formula that can be applied in less than 15 minutes each day.

How and why does this system work?

Distraction is a big part of our daily life and sometimes we are completley unaware of how many things there are that take our attention away from what is really important. Some of these things are down to habit and conditioning and others are down to outside influences over which we have no control. But most are due to our inability to keep at the forefront of our mind what it is that is truly important to accomplish and finish.

This system ensures that individuals take a proactive approach to consciously recognising what is truly important for them AND provides a mechanism whereby these outcomes can be clearly articulated, kept visible throughout the whole day in a way which makes the consequences of not following through obvious.

The planning fallacy is the tendency to underestimate the time, costs, and risks of future actions and at the same time overestimate the benefits of the same actions. Whilst we do not guarantee to solve this problem entirely we have proven beyond doubt that the successful implementation of this Results Focused Time Management system massively reduces the risk of this happening to the degree it otherwise would.

An ongoing use of this system raises self awareness as to exactly what is required to deliver a result as well as what is holding the individual back from accomplishing what they know themselves to be capable of. It provides simple strategies for realistic planning and overcoming internal resistance to moving forward.

By the end of this one-day workshop you will:

know how to transform your 'to do' list into a realistic results focused daily plan for yourself in less than 15minutes using a simple 5 step approach to time management

learn personal strategies that help us to understand exactly what is behind issues of procrastination, distraction and not being able to say no. By learning about your natural motivational tendencies we can understand why these common issues arise and how to deal with them with greater sense of ease and confidence

develop your personal awareness through the enneagram, and know the difference in the levels of emotional intelligence within your own motivational style to ensure that the quality of your results focused time management plan will solve the vast majority your time management issues

be able to apply simple principles that help you tackle issues of knowing what you really want to achieve and enable you to gain clarity on what your specific holistic goals are. This means that actions are wholly focused on contributing to your performance management plan and give you an ongoing sense of natural fulfilment and drive at work

have access to all of the tools necessary to assess the effectiveness of your time management, understand your time management issues and solutions in detail and apply the 5 step process immediately after the programme

learn techniques that help truly manage emails, phone calls and deadlines effectively whilst exceeding the expectations of your internal and external workplace colleagues and clients

have ideas as to how you can plan delegated tasks and communicate them well enough for people not only to understand but be naturally motivated to complete. We will share with you specific approaches to delegatetion for different types of people

apply the 5 step system to keep a log of all your achievements throughout the year to use at performance management review meetings. This system can be immediately applied using downloadable templates from our website which can then be saved on a daily basis and used in evidencing achievements and contributions made to the business.
