E-mail. Texts. Interruptions. Phone Calls. Project Transitions. Office Clutter. Social and Other Media. Smart Phones and Apps. Even Family and Friends. These common distractions make it almost impossible to get anything done. It seems like there is always SOMETHING getting in the way of what you really need to do. But with some forethought and effective strategies, as well as some discipline, it is possible to find your focus, even in a hyper-distracted world.

Close out 2018 by exploring new "game plan" ideas for getting and keeping your distractors under control, as well as finding critical "focused productivity" time every day, leading to both performance but also clarity of mind and purpose. Seating is limited so register today.

During this highly-engaging, interactive program, "Totally Obsessed' Time Management Guy and Email Sanity Expert" Randy Dean, MBA will cover:

• The state of interruptions and distraction in today’s professional world
• The two key ways e-mail distracts you (and solutions for managing that!)
