Who prioritizes your work?

Hello Reader, Tomorrow is our masterclass on project prioritization. We will be looking at some simple ways for getting clarity on what is the most important initiative at any given moment, and how you can feed that into your team’s strategic plans. I’ll be honest – this is training aimed at people who don’t have a formal pipeline management process and tools to organize it all for you. If you have a mature PMO and portfolio management software, then you don’t need this class. If you haven’t booked your spot yet, you haven’t got long! It’s tomorrow, 11 February, at 7 pm GMT (UK)/2 pm EST/6 am AEST. Book now Not that I’ve left it to the last minute or anything, but I’m still fiddling with the slides to make sure I can give you something practical, implementable, and with enough substance to help you share the knowledge with your leadership team and colleagues. What would you like to know? What problems are you having with getting visibility of all your projects across a team? Even if you have no interest in coming along, I’d still be keen to know your views. On the agenda so far:
The training is $19 or £14 and includes a few templates to help you implement what you learn and share it with your team. Register here for the training! If you can’t make it live, you can still register and get access to the recording and you’ll also get the slides. Don’t miss your chance to ask me personally any questions you have at the live Q & A session after the training. Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see you tomorrow! Best wishes Elizabeth |

Hello Reader, I used to hate it when my manager went to Board meetings or ‘away days’ because he’d always come back with some new initiative or idea that would make it on to my To Do list. And of course, as it was already ‘board-approved’ there was the expectation that it would move to the top of the list and get done as a priority. All my other projects would magically make space for the latest, greatest idea. The only way we fixed that was to be firm with prioritizing what was important....
Hello Reader, In just a few days, I’ll be running a live, paid workshop called: The Productivity Blueprint for Project Managers: How to be productive when you run out of time every day If you haven’t booked your place yet, this is your reminder to do it now. 📅 Monday 27 January🕖 7pm GMT (UK) / 2pm EST / 6am AEST At this time of year, I always notice the same pattern. Everything feels important.Everything feels urgent.And there’s no clear line between “work time” and “life time”. New projects...
Hello Reader, Do you ever feel like you run out of time every single day? I do. My ‘top priority’ sticky note has 9 things on it. How is that prioritising anything?? I want to get my evenings back! Having said that, this is unusual for me. I used to struggle a lot more with managing my time – but over the last few years I’ve figured something out. Time passes regardless. I know, that’s not rocket science. It’s how you prioritise and use your time that matters, and that means focusing on the...
