Program Description: As a busy school leader, you receive dozens of emails a day, deal with scheduling meetings, and have an endless to-‐do list. Never fear! There are tools, apps, and strategies to help you keep your head above water by helping you stay organized and connected. Productivity is described by guru David Allen as “advanced common sense,” and by applying some simple strategies, you can unclutter your inbox, browse the web more efficiently, keep a centralized to-‐do list, manage voicemails, and much more. Nowadays many of us carry mobile devices like a smartphone or iPad, keep a digital calendar, and work from multiple computers. Chances are you feel like a slave to email, having hundreds of messages in your inbox. You probably spend a lot of time online and might have trouble managing all of your files among your devices. Instead of blaming technology, let's use that technology to make you more productive. The heart of many of our problems is our email inbox. Much time will be spent learning how to spring clean your inbox and keep it that way. Other topics include keeping to-‐do lists, managing memos, improving meetings, boosting web browsing, and dealing with voicemail. You'll learn about these valuable strategies and abut free online tools and apps through a wiki. A wiki is a website that anyone can edit and you'll see how reading from and contributing to a wiki can empower learners to dive into a topic. The workshop is a day well spent because it is very helpful to learn how other are improving their own personal productivity. This is a hands-‐on workshop, so please bring a laptop with its power adapter and/or an iPad.
