In today’s environment of constrained resources, we are all expected to be more productive. While strategic planning is important, strategic doing is where the rubber meets the road. In this episode we will talk about tools, methods, and approaches
to help you focus and operate more efficiently. We’ll discuss resources for individual experimentation within the broad category of “productivity.”

Key Takeaways:
- There isn’t only one way to work efficiently and productively. Each of us operates within a different work environment or culture, and each of us responds to different approaches differently. Experiment and find what works best for you.
- Don’t hesitate to stop using a productivity method if it isn’t working for you.
- The production calendar within a registrar’s office is the annual To Do list that if you don’t consult on a regular basis you might miss something. If you don’t have a production calendar, start today! If you have one, review it
regularly.
- Doug is bad at e-mail.
