WORKSHOP
Productivity Hacks
Short overview:
Appreciating time is at the heart of using time to one’s benefit. From a moment to moment perspective we feel as though we have lots of time before our internal clocks cease to tick. This workshop helps the learner realise their usage of time, whether for good or bad. It enables them to look at ways to be more organised, efficient and productive whether at work
or at home.
Objectives of the workshop:
- To become aware of how much time is spent on electronic devices, diverting their attention from other tasks
- To enable better organisational skills, such as planning, time keeping, commitment to goals
- To understand the concepts of scheduling or keeping diaries
- To practise using digital and non digital methods to assist with organisational skills

Productivity Hacks
Tame 3 attention hijackers.
Start a discussion with the group on how their time is used up on electronic devices and possi- bly affects their time. Using a Flip Chart, and post-its, have participants note all the apps, devices or attention hackers they use.
When this is done, discuss Attention hijackers – such as alerts from your phone, computer, tablet, and smartwatch – advise that this can cost you as much as 25 minutes in lost productivity.
Have the participants dive into the Settings on each device you own, and tame as many attention hijackers in your work as you can – any that aren’t worth losing 25 minutes of productivity over

“Time Theming”
Using paper, coloured markers, and allowing for some reflective time, have participants Time Theme a typical week in their life.
Assign a theme to each part of your week so you can segregate it. E.g. Family / Saturdays
