Tick Achieve

A light-hearted, interactive DBA workshop aimed at solving some of the problems that creative people face.

 

People in the creative industry have a reputation for:

- Leaving things to the last minute “Deadline, what deadline?”

- Hanging on to tasks for too long

“Almost done, just want to tweak a couple of things.”

- Being useless with paperwork

“I’m sure it’s one of the 2000 emails in my inbox.”

- Having never-ending meetings

“Can everyone get together for a quick brainstorm?”

If this sounds like you or any of your colleagues then you need to bring some mates for drinks and discussion to learn some techniques for making your life easier and your work more productive.

Kevin Duncan, author of Tick Achieve, will use his no-nonsense liberating approach to enable you and your business to get the important things done, and exclude the unnecessary. He will challenge you to take a hard look at how you work and explain how you can achieve more without compromising quality. If you want to improve your productivity, and that of your team, then this is the workshop for you

Issues to be discussed include:

Progress not perfection

When writer, painter, poet, and film-maker Derek Jarman was asked how he had managed to be so prolific he replied, “I was lucky – I wasn't born a perfectionist.” The pursuit of perfection can be taken too far. How and when do you decide that your response to a task is “good enough”?

Talk can be the enemy of action

How often do you long to just “get on with it” but have to sit through painful meetings discussing minute detail? How can you cut through the chat and get on with the action?

Never touch a piece of paper or email more than once

How big is your inbox? It used to be said that an untidy desk meant an untidy mind – now technology hides it. Read it, then action, file or bin it – how not to drown in email and paper.
