Author, designer, blogger and Flying Solo’s Editor, Kelly Exeter, joins Robert Gerrish to explore the changing face of technology and how it can help transform and streamline the way we work.

What you’ll learn:

In this tutorial, Kelly Exeter walks us through the findings of a study she instigated recently that drew over 1500 respondents. Delving deep into the cause and effect of workplace overwhelm in solo business, Kelly summarises the main findings of her research before walking us through strategies and solutions to bring about a remedy.

The true cost to our prosperity

Having a disturbed or disjointed workflow, does far more than impact what we achieve on a daily basis. It can determine how we feel during the day; effect our clarity; undermine our focus and impair the relationships we hold dear.

Key threats to productivity

By pulling apart the many contributory factors to an ineffective workflow we can begin to work on lasting solutions. Quoting international reports and research Kelly and Robert get to the root of the productivity problem.

Small tips to herald big change

Perhaps reassuringly, the solution to a streamlined, effective workflow is typically less about an entire overhaul and more to do with establishing boundaries; introducing modified behaviours and getting back to the key purpose of your work.

Kelly share tips, case histories and personal experiences that have transformed how she works and the output she is capable of achieving.

Apps that can save an hour a week

Spanning tools to aid effective time management; how to communicate with greater clarity and direction; methods of organising notes and thoughts, to maintaining a positive mood and prioritising tasks, your presenters discuss applications and initiatives to save time and heighten focus.

Keep your notepad handy for this practical and information-rich session.
