Hello to all our Dutch friends!

Did you know that we have Ninjas working globally to help people like you manage your time and workload - meaning you strike that golden balance of getting through your to-do list and living your best life.

Think Productive Netherlands are hosting a free ‘How to become a Productivity Ninja’ webinar on the 10th Dec, in Dutch.

How many tasks are floating around in your brain right now? 🧠

If it's over five - pause your scrolling and write them down. Right. Now.

Keeping track of to-dos in your head is a guaranteed focus zapper.

We're not really into perfection as a concept, but we are well-versed in the art of perfect 'to-do lists'.

Handwritten, virtual - it doesn't really matter - as long as it frees up your focus, attention and energy to do the work you need to do and rest as gloriously as possible.

Come and learn the art of the to-do list at our 1hr taster workshop.

Ever feel like project management is just a big puzzle… but no one gave you the picture on the box? 🧩

Managing tasks, deadlines, and budgets (while keeping your sanity) doesn’t have to feel this overwhelming.

In our Project Management 101 workshop, we’ll show you a simple way to cut through the chaos. You’ll get a practical, repeatable framework to keep projects running smoothly - on time, on budget, and without the stress.

It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new to project management or just want to feel more in control. You’ll work on a real life case study and leave with real tips you can use right away, so you’re not just guessing anymore.

Sound good?

Let’s make project management simpler, together. Join us on the 27 Nov for Project Management 101 https://thinkproductive.co.uk/workshops/pw-101/

It takes a lot of time and brain power managing a team.

Which is why you need to look after your energy.

If you’re a perfectionist ask yourself this question:

What does finished look like?
What does good enough look like?

Progress is better than perfection.

At Think Productive, we work with leaders and teams to help them get their best work done without burning out.

As well as training, we offer coaching and facilitation.

Head on over to our website to see the myriad of ways we can help https://thinkproductive.co.uk/

Do you have a mountain of a project you're working on?

One that feels messy to organise, cost-up and keep on track of?

That's a challenge we'll gladly help you with.

At Think Productive, we have a fantastic framework to guide you through the all of the organisational elements of project management, as well as how to communicate these key aspects to those involved at every level.

And when you get your tricky project under control (because you will), you can rinse and repeat this framework for later.

At our Project Management 101 workshop on 27 November, you'll work on a real-life case study and come away with the skills and confidence to plan, lead, drive and review a project from scratch.

Here's a simple productivity tip to try today: the 2-minute rule.

If a task will take you two minutes or less, tackle it right then and there instead of adding it to your to-do list.

This rule nips procrastination in the bud, frees up mental space and keeps your inbox clear!

This week we are going ALL OUT on prioritising like a Productivity Ninja!

If you manage a team it can sometimes feel like you’re being pulled in multiple directions.

You have an ever growing inbox, an ever growing to-do list, and ever looming deadlines.

Prioritising is a tricky thing. We think we know what we need to do, then get to the end of the day to find we did a load of other stuff instead!

Here are 5 ways you can feel calmer as we fly ever closer to the end of year...

1. Don’t open your email!
2. List 5 things that will create the most impact
3. Create a Master Action list
4. Map out energy, priorities, people, places and resistance
5. Be mindful

Join us on the 20 November for a free session on prioritising like a Productivity Ninja https://thinkproductive.co.uk/workshops/prioritise-like-a-productivity-ninja/

Hands up if you dread looking at your emails 🙋

Thinning out your work inbox is no mean feat. Especially as a people professional who deals with a conveyor belt of questions and queries.

We'd love to help you leave this free session feeling less overwhelmed and more in control of your busy inbox, so you can focus on getting your best work done.

If you'd like to join us, you can book your place here: https://thinkproductive.co.uk/workshops/inbox-mastery-for-people-professionals-conquer-email-overload/

Your team's culture can be shaped by how you, yourself, behave.

Taking a full hour for lunch, emailing only during your work hours and prioritising rest all give unspoken permission for your team to do the same.

Start modelling these behaviours today and nurture a happy, motivated team 🙌
