Productivity Expert & Founder
Productive Day
Baltimore, MD, USA
Dear Motivated Professional,
Do you ever have one of those days when you’re totally working “in the zone”?
You’re focused. You’re decisive. You’re on .
And, by the end of the day, you’ve accomplished more than you have in the last week… or perhaps even more than you have in the last… month?
It feels amazing doesn’t it?
Now… imagine if you could have that same level of productivity
and sense of accomplishment every single day.
How would your career… or your life… be different? What would you be able to achieve? How would you spend your newfound time? How would you FEEL?
If what you’re imagining feels GREAT then I’m really glad you found this page.
My name is Leslie Shreve , and I’ve dedicated my life to helping busy professionals just like you to create a total productive work day — every day — so you can have greater accomplishment, fulfillment and freedom in your life.
You see, these days, professionals in every industry and type of job are feeling more pressure than they ever have before.
In fact, STOP and think – for just a minute – about your own day-to-day work life.
- Are you sick and tired of creating endless to-do lists?
- Are you finding that your to-do lists are always longer the next day , plus you’re lacking any sense of accomplishment?
- Do you ever wonder why you’re working so hard… putting in longer hours, never turning off the cell phone or Blackberry — let alone take a vacation or a sick day (even when you ought to) — and yet you’re still getting further and further behind?
- If so, you’re experiencing what just about all professionals are encountering today.
The harsh reality is that there are greater demands being placed on our personal and professional lives more than ever before.
Yet most people are still trying to manage their work day with the same-old, outdated “time management” tools developed when it was a whole different world out there.
Not only that, but also most people are trying to improve their productivity by trial and error, using stand-alone tools and tactics they picked up here and there from other (not-so-productive) people or magazine articles — not a system that connects all the dots.
They rely on bright and shiny TRICKS, not real strategies… and not the BIG picture.
It’s sad to see so many overwhelmed professionals continue to run on the “hamster wheel,” scurrying in circles, trying some new tip or buying a fancy (read: expensive) gizmo or downloading the latest mobile app that promises to be the Holy Grail of getting organized or being more productive.
“This has GOT to be it!” they think.
But then, before long, they slide into their old habits. Their e-mail Inbox builds up. Their desk fills with paper. And their to-do items are jotted down in a million different places.
Why? Because even good tools can’t work by themselves.
You need a complete SYSTEM.
More importantly, you need a system designed specifically for busy PROFESSIONALS.
And this is EXACTLY what I’m handing you in my Taskology™ Home Study Program…
With this time-tested system, you’ll discover how to transform your work day so YOU are in control and have more freedom by:
- Converting what’s not working into systems and processes that move you into a new, more rewarding direction with complete clarity, calmness and control
- Discovering the secrets to achieving your goals through daily planning and decisive action — and still have time to spare.
- Learning how to focus on the right things and get the results you want.
But before I go into sharing EXACTLY what you’ll learn with Taskology™, here are a few real-life, client success stories I want to share with you.
“…I now have control of my day.”
“I can’t thank you enough for all of the useful information and processes that you have shared with me that allow me to be more productive. I have spent many mornings waking up to the thoughts of what I needed to do or what not to forget. I had many different note pads and was trying to manage my day by filing emails in folders in my Outlook or just by trying to keep everything in my mind. With your system along with the many methods that were shared I now have control of my day. I can leave at the end of the day and know that there were many things accomplished and feel good that the most important tasks for that day were taken care of. Thank You So Much!”

“Leslie will change the way you think about time, tasks, and managing the information necessary to do your job. She will provide a road map to organize and focus your work that will lead to marked improvements in your focus, your productivity, and ultimately your job performance. I am thinking about my time more strategically, like it is a commodity that needs to be managed more effectively. I feel much more in control of my workload and in my professional life. I am able to save at least 1 hour per day and direct it to more productive, higher level uses, such as management and leadership.”

“…something I can really stick with.”
“Leslie, thank you so much for helping me overcome the clutter. I truly feel the systematic way of organizing my office, computer, files, etc. is something I can really stick with. I’ve been to more than a few “How to Get Organized” seminars over the years. None have left me as energized as you have. Thanks again.”
Thomas C. Myers, Senior Vice President

” I am just astonished at how much this program is helping me in all areas of my business and personal life. I truly hadn’t realized how out of control my world had become.”
“Hi Leslie,
I decided to upgrade my very old Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2010. Holy Cow Batman! I feel like I am sitting in the pilot’s seat of an airplane. I LOVE it! And I am already starting to understand how wonderful going paperless can be. I work better when there isn’t clutter, so this is amazing.
I also love the use of the Task list, both for keeping me on track and for ideas. I have used paper lists for years, having taken a seminar when I was young that said you were something like 70% more time efficient if you used lists. But this…an electronic list on my computer and that travels with me on my phone! This is awesome. Thank you for showing me how to use this in a simple and effective way.
I am just astonished at how much this program is helping me in all areas of my business and personal life. I truly hadn’t realized how out of control my world had become.
The farther I got into the Taskology™ Boot camp Course, the more I began to realize just why I had been feeling so overwhelmed! Your systematic approach to working through both electronic and paper files was definitely what I needed. I had reached that point, where you become so over burdened, you just don’t do anything because you don’t know where to start. Add to that the extra little issue of having an in-home office as well as an art studio – both in total chaos – and I shut down. I truly believe if I hadn’t done the Taskology™ Boot Camp, I probably would still not be back in the studio .
I cleared most of the clutter, and am realizing this is a process. The more I clear…the more I WANT to clear. (um, is this normal? Or a little Obsessive-Compulsive? Either way I am loving it!) I am feeling not only back in control of my life, but perhaps even more empowered in every aspect than I have ever been. It is like the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders along with the clutter.
If someone had told me this course could change my life so incredibly, there is no way I would have believed them. The next time my son visits he isn’t going to believe this is my office. Thank you so very much for your help!”
Cyd Rust, Artist

“I’m definitely accomplishing more tasks in less time…” “It’s amazing to be able to keep one task on my desk at a time, which enables me to clear my desk at the end of each day and gives me the distinct pleasure of walking in to a clear desk in the morning. The biggest shift for me was to discover the effectiveness of “tasking” everything in Outlook, allowing me to clear out my Inbox, my desk, and anywhere else the enormous volumes of daily information happened to come to rest. I’m definitely accomplishing more tasks in less time and monitoring tasks more carefully.” Alan Silverberg, Attorney/Partner

- Avoid the seemingly relentless stream of daily distractions and interruptions .
- Conquer perfectionism and procrastination , once and for all.

“I feel like I have a secret that is enabling me to perform better and more efficiently than anyone I know.”
“I would describe the process as eye opening to say the least. I feel like I have a secret that is enabling me to perform better and more efficiently than anyone I know. It is very exciting to feel in control and not out of control! Recently, we have had staffing issues so instead of replacing a customer service representative I have been given an additional 30 accounts to service. There is no way I would be able to consider such an increase in volume of accounts if it was not for the techniques taught to me by Leslie.”

“I feel more confident about myself and my productivity.”
“I spent so much time before handling the same paperwork and not cleaning out my “In” box. We got rid of the ‘In’ box, which forces me to do something immediately with stuff that is put on my desk. On the computer we developed a better way of storing both e-mail and computer files, which now makes it easier to manage. I can also manage my priorities better now. What I found particularly helpful about Leslie was that she organized based on what my needs and desires were. Her experience was also helpful because she has been in many different types of environments and was able to suggest some helpful tips. Leslie did a great job. I feel more confident about myself and my productivity.”
