“Productivity Workshop” by the University of Sydney

Whether you’re a committed list maker, a haphazard scribbler of notes or someone who works their best under deadline, staying on top of multiple areas of focus is a constant struggle for most academics. What would it be like to be not only on top of your responsibilities but to have the mental space for more creative, flexible and deep thinking?

Have you ever wondered how the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre (SSEAC) team gets so much stuff done? Held on 7 February at 8.30 AM, this SSEAC Productivity Workshop will introduce you to a methodology known as Getting Things Done, which will help you tackle those post-it notes – and that inbox – for good. In the process, you will learn how to reduce decision-making fatigue, plan your days more strategically, and create space to do the things you love.

This half-day workshop, facilitated by Professor Michele Ford, is a deep dive into the Getting Things Done approach implemented through the Todoist App. These terms might be unfamiliar, but they hold the promise of a more organized and balanced approach to your work (and beyond).

Register here before 31 January.
