In this episode, Joel once again sits down with Nigel Creaser who is project manager, consultant, and the author of several books on the subject. This time, they talk about the productivity hacks Nigel uses to get things done. He shares some methods anyone can use to become more productive. Strategies that can be used to enable you to achieve more in both your work and personal life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most people feel that there is never enough time in a day to do everything.
• Automating certain email tasks saves a huge amount of time. In the podcast, Nigel shares how to do it.
• Sort tasks by how they impact your bottom line.
• Maximise the list of tasks your most junior (lowest paid) team members take care of.
• Don´t get sucked into unnecessary conversations. Let your team sort it out.
• Do tasks in bulk, to get into a flow state and work faster.
• Block off time in your diary to re-energise and stick to it to stay productive throughout the day.
• It is easy to slip back into old ways and become less productive. Nigel explains how to avoid that pitfall.
• Remote working is going to have an impact on productivity.
• Sometimes face-to-face working is essential for collaborative projects and relationship building.
