Productivity Audit and Action Plan

A guided process to design the vision for your Productive Environment™ and subsequently create of an action plan to implement the system.  The steps to a Productive Environment™ are:

8 Hour Miracle™

Your ability to accomplish any task is directly related to your ability to find what you need when you need it. The 8 Hour Miracle is a one-on-one program to develop a more effective way to handle everything that comes across your desk (paper or electronic). It offers you peace of mind in 8 hours by clearing the piles and creating a system to manage your paper information. We begin by filing the most important papers in your office, you know – the ones you keep on your desk so you won’t forget them! This “hands-on” process creates a personalized system for management of your time, space and information based on Productive Environment Principles™ including:

• The Art of Wastebasketry®
• Today’s Mail is Tomorrow’s Pile
• Clutter is Postponed Decisions®
• The File-Act-Toss System™

Together we will decide which papers you can comfortably toss, and then we will create a searchable database so you, or anyone else, can find anything we file–online and off–with one keyword search!

Productivity Quickstart™

A streamlined version of the 8 Hour Miracle™ to give you the boost you need to establish a Productive Environment™.  We will establish a system which you will be able to maintain long after our work together is over.

After my monthly day with Lori, I inevitably have a period of extreme productivity and creativity – clearing the clutter and my backlog of a month of accumulated important, but not necessarily urgent items gives me the space to think and a sense of calm that is essential to my well being.

I run my own consulting business from my home, work part time, do a tremendous amount of volunteer work for non-profits and am the mother of two elementary school age girls and 10 pets… we have a busy and wonderfully full life, but sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all of that by myself. Lori has been a valuable partner to me over the years and I’m grateful.
