How to be awesome at getting things done

Hello Reader, One of the most common responses to the question "How did you become a project manager?" is accidentally. It often starts with planning an event or having the responsibility of getting tasks done. I am running a workshop next week if you have found yourself in that position. It will help you understand what a project is and how to define success. If you would like someone to guide you through what a project is all about, join me at my new workshop on 13 November, 7.00 pm UK time (2.00 pm EDT). You will leave the live training knowing:

I’ve pulled together my best articles on productivity, time management, and work–life balance into one place so you can reset how you’re working, if you feel...
Hello Reader, At Project Forum last Tuesday, I attended a talk by James Garner and Yoshi Soornack on AI, because… well, FOMO really. The talk about AI is all over the place and staying up to date is tricky (some stats here about how it's actually being used). Two easy key takeaways for me were: Use AI as a thought partner, in much the same way as you chat about ideas to colleagues, but you can’t offload all cognition.
