A Method To The Madness
Knowledge work is fast moving and often overwhelming. We are our own factory. We have to be efficient, produce and get things done. The frantic pace can cause us to often feel overwhelmed day in and day out.
I have worked with teams, executives and entrepreneurs to teach them a solid system of managing their workflow called the ZeroInbox system. Every day, you will be inundated with more information that your parents or grandparents ever dealt with. Those inputs are not going to go away. Our work is virtual and demands our attention, focus and execution. It is the way of the new economy.
ZeroInbox As A System
The habits you have with your inbound information will determine your effectiveness. These habits will create continual clarity and allow you to have peace of mind regardless of how much is coming at you. This system requires:
- Thinking like an executive
- Making decisions
- Moving with speed
- Vigilance on every input
- Intentional design
- Strong boundaries
A ZeroInbox system to your work increases your productivity via a leadership approach to your work. It is using the right tools, process and behaviors to get work done consistently.
When you have clutter in the form of hundreds of emails, lots of paper, unreturned calls, unread magazines and the myriad options demanding your attention, you are operating at low potential. You miss opportunities and can lose credibility as someone who gets things done. It does not have to be this way. If you are committed to learning a better way, then your world can change.
I consult and teach on the ZeroInbox methods in articles on productivity, speaking engagements and seminars, and leadership consulting.
