What happens in a workday that isn’t working?

When you feel like your workday is SPINNING out of control, you might start looking for tools, apps, or hacks to help you regain control and and make continued progress.

Your search leads to a VAST array of options, which in increases OVERWHELM you even more, but you stay the course and decide to buy something that promises to be the Holy Grail for solving a particular workday challenge.

But 3 problems emerge when this happens…

The FIRST problem is that all of the tips, tools, tactics, short-cuts, apps, and hacks you might find typically focus on only ONE part of the work you’re trying to manage—just email or time or to-dos.

When you realize this, you may seek out SEVERAL tools to help with different areas of your work. You might get a planner for tasks, an app to help with email, or start using a time management hack.

This creates the SECOND problem, which is that each new tool, tactic, or app you try to use doesn’t connect, communicate, or integrate with any of the other tools, apps, and methods you’re using to manage the rest of your work.

That means a variety of things are COBBLED together that aren’t set up to WORK together and you’re STILL not achieving the feeling of being in control or getting things done any faster.

The THIRD problem emerges after a few days or weeks of trying to use a new tool or app and you discover it isn’t working. It doesn’t stick. You’re not fully adopting it. It isn’t becoming a long-term habit. So you stop implementing. You aren’t using it. And you slide back into your old ways… AGAIN.

There are many reasons why this happens…

❌   It was too HARD to implement.
❌   It took too LONG to implement.
❌   It had too many BELLS and WHISTLES.
❌   It didn’t produce the RESULTS you expected.
❌   It was too COMPLEX and complicated to set up.
❌   You didn’t have SUPPORT when questions came up.
❌   And so many more reasons…

Here’s the deal…

Trying to be more efficient and productive by constantly looking for time management tips, email apps, planners, and productivity hacks shouldn’t turn into a hobby or become a lifelong mission.

Cobbling together multiple tools and apps to solve a SYSTEMIC workday problem is NOT a long-term solution.

To be more efficient and effective, the solution must go deeper than just getting a new tool, app, or hack.

A complete workload management SYSTEM is the CURE for a systemic problem.

A system that encompasses the management of ALL of your work, not just some of it.

A system that is simple, logical, and easy to use.

A system that will give you TOTAL workday productivity, meaningful PROGRESS, and REAL results for your time and your efforts.

The KEY is to make HOW you work so SEAMLESS and so EASY,
you don’t have to spend any time, energy, or effort THINKING about it.

Imagine…

…getting MORE accomplished in less time—WITHOUT complicated systems or stress.
…having a METHOD to make your entire workday EASIER and less stressful.
…using a simple, step-by-step plan to get things done—WITHOUT worrying about what you might have missed.
…increasing efficiency and productivity by up to 300% in as little as four weeks.
…making more meaningful, powerful PROGRESS on the projects and the initiatives that matter the most to you.
…gaining 1-2 hours BACK in your workday—EVERY day—to use more productively.

…having more time at home for yourself and your family to enjoy more fun and adventure, sports and fitness, hobbies and interests, vacations and leisure time, and so much more.

—Mark King, CFO | Telcom Insurance Group

“I have better control of my commitments and my email, and I’m working fewer hours. One of my goals was to take control of my schedule and with Taskology I achieved this. Now I’m working more proactively.”
—Rob Flack, Vice President of Sales and Operations | Transcat, Inc.
“Before learning Taskology, I used to flag emails and use my calendar to keep track of things to do, which was really inefficient. I’d scroll through my email Inbox a couple times a day to see what I flagged. With Taskology, the process for managing emails is so efficient. It’s easy to get emails out of the Inbox and easy to file emails and find them again later. Now I can use my time differently and make more progress.”

Free yourself from email jail and spend your time OUTSIDE of the Inbox making powerful progress on tasks and projects.

FAQ

Yes! Taskology is certainly customizable so you can apply it with the unique aspects of your work in mind. It’s true, every professional and every situation is unique, but HOW you work is likely to be similar to many other professionals, no matter what you do in your specific area of expertise. I've worked with hundreds of clients in more than 30 different industries and they've all had different jobs, careers, and businesses, but they were able to implement Taskology to stay on top of their work in a way that works for them. The system is strong and reliable, but it's also flexible to suit your needs and how you think, as well as help you stay nimble in your workday.

YES! Taskology is TOTALLY different. It has a 20-year PROVEN track record of success not only when clients first implement the system, but long after. The system is not complex nor complicated, and once implemented, it “sticks” because it’s simple, logical, and easy to use. It does NOT have an ENDLESS array of bells and whistles, colors and categories, or countless other options. If you’ve ever tried a tool like this, you know how frustrating—or overwhelming —it can be to implement. You lose time tinkering with the system as you wonder how to apply the features to your work. You may even believe that if you DON’T use most or all of the available features, then you’re NOT getting the full value out of the system—or from your investment of time and money.

By contrast, Taskology is SIMPLE, yet POWERFUL. You’ll get step-by-step instructions for EXACTLY what to focus on and what to ignore. Processes are streamlined to help you implement quickly, so you can accomplish tasks, dispense with email, find information faster and easier, and use your time more effectively so you can focus on achieving your goals.

Yes, I certainly can. I understand your skepticism. Quite a few Productive Day clients who implemented the Taskology system started out with a bit of skepticism, too, because they had indeed tried “everything under the sun.” But they were also excited about the possibility of getting the workday they had always wanted and were committed to making a change. Once they implemented, they were pleasantly surprised, saying that the system was simple, logical, and easy to use, and that what they had learned was “better than expected.” In this program, I'll be your guide and I'm here to pave the way to make it easy for you to implement, help you practice the processes, and hold you accountable for taking action along the way. When you show up and do the work, you'll get results. And I'll be there to support you, guide you, answer your questions, and cheer you on to success!

You can expect to invest 2-4 hours per week to implement Taskology and the return on investment of your time can be DOUBLE that. The training videos are an average of 40 minutes each and the group coaching calls are an hour. The time it takes to implement the system will vary for each person. It will depend on: (1) how fast you can assess information and make decisions, (2) how comfortable you are with technology, (3) How much information (physical or digital) you have accumulated and (4) how fast you want to implement. Fortunately, with every step you take to implement Taskology, you’ll start gaining time BACK in your workday right away!

Certainly! What's great about Taskology is that as you implement the strategies, you'll see results right away, which becomes a great motivation to continue. As you put the strategies into action, you're creating new routines, reinforcing new habits, and practicing every day until the new processes become second nature. Fortunately, once you implement Taskology, you’ll be able to use it consistently from DAY ONE, making it easy to build momentum, see results right away, and make it part of your daily routine.
