Challenge
With email, appointments and calendars in your face every day, the urgencies of the moment border on the hypnotic. Technologies envisioned to liberate us can swamp us in a tsunami of data and clutter. Instead of tackling what's truly important, employees become distracted, robotic, and pressured to react to situations perceived as urgent. We devote our days to stomping out fires and get hooked on a false sense of heroism, accomplishing mundane urgencies at the expense of the wildly important.
Solution
Staying on task is essential to success, but if daily endeavor isn't linked to what's wildly important, employees will neither succeed professionally nor be fulfilled personally. The FranklinCovey LiveClicks Webinar Workshop, Time Management for Microsoft Outlook: Increasing Your Productivity through the Effective Use of Outlook teaches participants how to stop "living in their inbox" and start prioritizing tasks, messages, and appointments to achieve what's most important to the organization and themselves. The LiveClicks webinar format is ideal when in-person training isn't possible because of distance, time, budget, or work responsibilities.
