Do you have to clear
a space to
do actual work on your desk?
Does your email inbox ever read
2576 unread messages?
Do you
ever feel like you’re drowning
in your own office?

Regain Your Time! – Controlling Paper and EmailTM
A
Workshop for Teams
Welcome to the information age. Any person (or digital device) anywhere
in the world, can send you any piece of information, in a matter of seconds, in at least four different formats. Sometimes
all four simultaneously! The result is that what was supposed to be convenient communication has become a source of
unlimited distractions. We now live in an environment in which too much of our valuable time is spent being reactive,
and too little time is spent being proactive. The result is that there is too much clutter
and distraction to get any of the meaningful stuff done.
The world is changing, probably faster than your staff
can keep up. Few people have learned the skills necessary to manage the vast amounts of information they are deluged
with daily. Even the most organized people are finding themselves overwhelmed and stressed out. Working 60-70
hour weeks is one way to deal with the problem, but that doesn’t lead to productive, happy staff. And if your
staff is living in a constant state of stress and overwhelm, that doesn’t bode well for your company. There is
another solution.
Regain Your Time! – Controlling Paper and EmailTM
is a two-hour workshop that will teach your staff to control and organize paper, effectively manage emails, and provide a
process that will keep them on track and give them back their sanity.
Clear Your Space
Clutter saps your staff’s mental energy and has a demotivating effect on their state of mind. It also causes
wasted time spent looking for things. This workshop will help them to regain their space from physical and electronic
clutter, give everything a home, and teach them an effective, practical method for keeping it that way. Both paper and
email will be organized in a logical way that will allow them to easily retrieve and act upon information in a timely manner.
By the end of the workshop, your team will have:
- learned
tips and techniques for getting maximum effectiveness from Outlook®
- a filing strategy that will support them in a logical, meaningful way.
- a filing system that will be easily understood by anyone in the office, thus, smoothing employee transitions,
team projects, and staff vacations.
- a useful, repeatable system
for managing paper and email
- email best-practices – useful
guidelines
- a process for staying on top of things and in control
The workshop cost is only $549 total, for up to 10 people, given at your location.
The cost for additional participants is only $49 each. Contact Burget Avenue Management Services, by phone (512-693-8530)
