Practical productivity strategies to beat procrastination, manage priorities, stay focused, and control your workload
Take Control of Your Time. Get More Done. Build a Better Career.
You're ambitious. You want to do great work, make an impact, and build a successful career.
But there's a problem.
There's always more to do than there is time to do it.
Emails keep arriving. Your to-do list keeps growing. Deadlines creep closer. Meetings interrupt your plans. You put off the difficult tasks, jump between priorities, and sometimes finish the day wondering where all the time went.
It doesn't have to be this way.
This course gives you the practical tools and techniques to take control of your time, attention and workload.
You'll learn how to build productive habits, plan effectively, set priorities, overcome procrastination, manage interruptions and deal with overload without constantly feeling overwhelmed.
You'll also discover proven approaches including Pomodoro, Getting Things Done, Kanban, the Chain Method and Autofocus — so you can find the methods that work best for you.
But productivity isn't simply about squeezing more work into every hour.
You'll learn how to work with your energy, motivation and natural cycles, create the conditions for flow, protect your wellbeing and make time for the things that matter outside work too.
Become the person who gets important things done.
Whether you're starting your career, taking on more responsibility or moving towards your next promotion, effective personal productivity is a career advantage.
This course will help you:
The aim isn't to turn you into a productivity machine.
It's to help you work smarter, feel more in control, and have more time and energy for the career — and the life — you want.
Stop chasing your workload. Start taking control of it.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
