The Real Cost of Multitasking
Embracing Unitasking for Better Productivity and Happier Living
Let’s just say this — there’s a very good chance you’re doing three things right now. Don’t think so? Think about it. You’re reading this, you may have some music or talk show on in the background, your eye darts over to your email, and so on.
It’s not your fault; that’s what today’s fast-paced, always-on worklife demands. And you either go with the fast-flow or you die. Right? Not always…
In this entertaining but informative keynote presentation (can also be adapted for workshop/seminar), Tod will show you how to be more productive, profitable, and satisfied with life by using a new set of skills designed to reduce your email, wrangle your voicemails better, and prioritze your day.
Some highlights from the presentation:
- Exploit proven streamlined email model that will save you at least an hour a day
- Learn how you are literally damaging your brain when you multitask
- Use more effective management strategies like Smart Delegation
- Learn why you feel sore all the time and the secret world of stress-induced sub-muscular contractions
- Gain a little space and “just be” without taking up yoga
- Use web services to priorize your day
- Learn how your brain simply can’t do more than one thing at a time (fun demonstration)
