Free Productivity Coaching for Educators
May 15, 2008
As I have stated before, I am deeply interested in personal productivity. In fact, I have been invited by a Professor of Personal Leadership at Columbia Business School to lecture on the topic of personal productivity.
As someone who is always striving to learn more about educational leadership, I would be happy to learn some of the methods that educators have used to cope with the impossible workload of being an educational leader.
One of the things I like most about productivity solutions is that there’s always room for improvement — superintendents and educators in general have a lot on their plates and I would love to learn what strategies they have developed to stay on top of their work.
If you are an educational leader who would like to share your methods of personal productivity, please comment on this post, or write me an e-mail.
On the other hand, if you are an educational leader from Ohio and would like guidance on implementation of a productivity system, I would be happy to drop by and show you my system. I am accessible via e-mail or cell (216-374-6723).
I am especially interested in finding educators in the Ohio area who would be interested in discussing personal productivity to help them find more time!
Personal Productivity in the Education Sector
April 19, 2008
The topic of personal productivity is something that I am passionate about.
I have developed my own personal productivity style after extensively reading the following sources:
For those of you who are not aware, GTD (Getting Things Done) is the “bible” in productivity circles. The GTD tag on del.icio.us is a good place to start learning about the topic. I was also happy to catch this post on GTD in Education.
Believe it or not, personal productivity can be broken down into a core set of principles:
- Keep things simple
- Do one thing at a time
- Outsource everything possible
- Remove distractions from your life
- Work in terms of action steps
- Follow the Inbox Zero principle for your e-mail
- Have a weekly review to go over your projects, and clear your inbox, action steps, and follow ups
