How to Organize Your Workflow to Maximize Productivity - Skillshare Course

In this second class in my series on how to improve our personal productivity, I want to further explore the systems, workflows, and organizational techniques we can use to maximize our performance. My FREE Skillshare Bonus Resources As I mentioned in the course, I've now created a ton of free resources for all of my Skillshare classes, exclusively for my Skillshare students. They're packed with additional course-related content for each class and will help you refresh what you've learned, as well as explore some of the other classes you haven't taken yet. Check it out here. ---------- I want to build on the foundation laid in the first course and explore the Pilot, Airplane, Engineer analogy in more depth. I hope that through the concepts, principles, and theories discussed in the first class, and the more practical advice offered in this class, you will be able to work toward living a happier, healthier, and more productive life. Section One The Pilot After a brief summary of the first class productivity equation, in the first section we will look at the role of the pilot and the importance of 'Setting the Course', which is fundamentally based on two key ideas of organization. and prioritization. We will divide this section into 3 main areas (short, medium and long term) and explore topics including scheduling, task management, focus areas and goals, as well as developing a vision and purpose. Section Two The Plane The second section looks at 'The Plane', an area we should spend 80% of our time in, but also the area where many people struggle. In this section, we will explore ideas related to motivation, focus and consistency through the analogy of 'getting off the ground' (getting started) and 'staying the course' (maintaining performance and avoiding distractions). We'll look at key techniques to help you manage your time and improve your productivity by making the plane as effective and efficient as possible. Section Three The Engineer Finally, we move on to The Engineer – the section associated with optimization and efficiency. The Engineer's job is threefold: discover processes and systems to make the Airplane (a) faster, (b) more fuel efficient, (c) organized. In other words, this section will explore ways to increase our overall speed of getting things done, as well as designing our systems in a way that means we use less energy and operate more effectively. ABOUT ME My name is Ali, I'm a doctor working in the UK and I also make YouTube videos about medicine. technology and productivity. Productivity is probably the topic I get asked about the most on my YouTube channel and social media. Through reading books, blog posts, articles and experimenting with numerous techniques over the years, I feel like I have developed quite a bit of knowledge about productivity and that is why I have decided to put together this extensive series of productivity classes. Skillshare to share my own knowledge in the productivity space and hopefully help us all work towards living happier, healthier and more productive lives. --------- Other useful links: My website/blog - https://www.aliabdaal.com My weekly podcast - https://www.notoverthinking.com Weekly email newsletter - https:/ /e-mail.
