The 1 Day Refund: Take back time, spend it wisely
It's a crime that people spend all day in back-to-back pointless meetings, and then come home, eat their dinner, to spend the rest of their evening catching up on email and their "real" work.
It's about time we overcame overwhelm, took back control and focused on what's important.
It's not enough any more to do "to do lists" and other traditional time management strategies to run your life.
Neuroscience and other breakthroughs have shown that we need to pay more...
Adaptive Capacity: Give yourself the space to pause, think and respond
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one most adaptable to change."

The 15% Rule: Create a productivity buffer
We have to stop being 100% on 100% of the time. We can actually achieve more if we do less.

Join Donna as she shows time and time again that success is about effort in...
The First 2 Hours: Make better use of your most valuable time
It's not WHAT you do, it's WHEN you do it.
Get more done with your day by avoiding common productivity traps.
Donna draws on research from neuroscience, energy flow and the body's natural rhythms, to reveal how to divide the workday into 2-hour blocks in line with the level of intensity and impact required.

- Recognise the habits holding you back (and how to rewire them)

25 Minute Meetings: Halve the time, double the impact
Meetings have become a de facto way of working, and as they pile up and stretch to interminable lengths, they eat up our days and sink productivity-if they are poorly planned and run.
Done well, meetings are short, sharp, productive affairs that provide critical time and space for the interactions that drive business forward. These programs show you how to effectively and...
