Managing Life and Work
in the Web 2.0 Age

Time/Power Management Workshop^®

The Challenge

Living and working in the Web 2.0 Age

"Individuals need to recognize the costs of energy depleting behaviors and then take responsibility for changing them, regardless of the circumstances they're facing"

Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time
Harvard Business Review

Research states that 90% of managers use their time ineffectively…

"If you listen to executives, they'll tell you that the resource they lack most is time. But if you watch them, here's what you'll see:

They rush from meeting to meeting, check their e-mail constantly, extinguish fire after fire, and make countless phone calls. In short, you'll see an astonishing amount of fast-moving activity that allows almost no time for reflection.

Very few managers use their time as effectively as they could. They think they're attending to pressing matters, but they're really just spinning their wheels.

Fully 90% of managers squander their time in all sorts of ineffective activities. In other words, a mere 10% of managers spend their time in a committed, purposeful and reflective manner."

Beware the Busy Manager, Heike Bruch and Sumantra Ghoshal, Harvard Business Review

What people say about today's work place…

• "The stream of information, communication and demands keeps coming. I feel overwhelmed on a constant basis."

• "I feel like an e-mail addict."
• "My work is fragmented by countless interruptions and distractions. I have a hard time staying focused and constantly have to refocus my attention."
• "I am not able to produce the quality I can produce due to constant time-constraints."

Traditional Time Management Techniques…
