Four Cases When “Working Smarter” Really Works: Getting Beyond the Cliché
At some point—or perhaps many points!—you've probably received the advice to "Work harder, not smarter." Just about all of us have heard the phrase, to the point of it becoming a meaningless cliché and catch-all slogan. The problem here lies in the fact that most of the people who say this to you have no clue what it means. They're just repeating what other people have told them. Bluntly ask them, “How exactly do you ‘work
smarter’?” and they'll most likely just look at you blankly.
My entire career has involved helping people find ways to get more work done in less time. That's one definition of working smarter, and it's composed of multiple parts, including ruthless time management, delegating, taking good care of yourself, tightly organizing and scheduling everything, taking advantage of new
technology, and more.
The Institute for Management Studies (IMS) Denver is Pleased to Present Laura Stack and Her Seminar
"WHAT TO DO WHEN THERE'S TOO MUCH TO DO"
DATE: Thursday, January 12, 2017 TIME: Registration at 8:30 AM, and Seminar from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM LOCATION: University of Colorado South Denver (The Wildlife Experience Building) 10035 S Peoria St, Parker, CO 80134 INVESTMENT: $425 (includes workbook, parking, refreshments, and lunch)
The Denver chapter of the Institute for Management Studies is pleased to welcome Laura Stack as its featured educator on
January 12, 2017. Are you tired of hearing “do more with less”? Instead, this class shows you how to be more efficient, so you can “do less to achieve more.” Using Ms. Stack’s innovative, six-step Productivity Workflow Formula (PWF), you’ll learn how to prioritize your high-value tasks, protect the time to do them, and organize around them (Ms. Stack demonstrates her methods using Microsoft Outlook). You’ll find dozens of ways to shrink your to-do list, commitments, distractions,
interruptions, and inbox. Each reduction will increase your results and save you time.
