Feeling stretched already this year? Let’s fix how you use your time

Hello Reader, In just a few days, I’ll be running a live, paid workshop called: The Productivity Blueprint for Project Managers: If you haven’t booked your place yet, this is your reminder to do it now. 📅 Monday 27 January At this time of year, I always notice the same pattern. Everything feels important. New projects are kicking off. Goals are being set. The mental load ramps up, and yet it still doesn’t feel like planning with confidence is possible. That’s exactly why I created this workshop. This isn’t about squeezing more tasks into already-full days. It’s about making better decisions about where your time actually goes, so you can feel more in control. Even when the workload doesn’t reduce. During the workshop, I’ll walk you through a practical framework you can start using immediately, including:
This is the session I wish I’d had earlier in my career, when I was juggling multiple projects and constantly feeling behind despite working hard. Here’s what past attendees have said: “You have a really great and personable way of training - it’s open and refreshing. You cover what is needed in a straightforward way.” “The reading material was very comprehensive. It was great to learn new ways to use my time better. I found the webinar very insightful.” The workshop is $19 and includes a bundle of practical resources to help you apply what you learn straight away, I want you to get real value out of it! 👉 Register here for the live workshop If it turns out you can’t attend live, you’ll still get access to the replay and slides. But coming live means you can ask your questions in the Q&A at the end. If your workload already feels heavy, or you want to stop this year tipping into overwhelm, this session will help. I’d love to see you there. Best wishes, P.S. I know inboxes are busy. If you’re genuinely happy with how you manage your time and don’t want any more reminders about this workshop, you can opt out here. |

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...
Hello Reader, People often ask me how project managers can be evaluated, or what targets should be set for people in project roles. And at this time of year as leaders think about annual reviews, it seems to be even more of a conversation topic. It’s a bit tricky to provide a one-size-fits-all answer, but I have come up with some Key Performance Indicators for project managers, that you can use as a starting point for your own team. There are so many ways you could track how well a project...
Hello Reader, You know when you meet someone and they’ve got the same approach to work as you and you just click? That’s me and Elise Stevens. We don’t catch up often because of the time difference between the UK and Australia, but we have spoken a few times and the last time… well, we recorded it for her podcast, Futureproof Your Career. We talk all about... How a “two-week look ahead” can help you plan the rest of your life around when you will be most busy Why it’s important to adjust your...
