About this Event
There’s a version of busy that looks productive from the outside, but feels completely different when you’re the one carrying it.
The diary is full. The team still needs decisions. Important work keeps being pushed back. And somehow the tasks that should have been handed over, cleaned up or stopped are still sitting with you.
My BREAKING DOWN BUSY BEFORE YOU BREAKDOWN workshop is a quarterly planning session for local business owners and managers who want to take a proper look at what their business is asking of them, what that is costing, and what needs to change over the next 90 days.
We’ll start with a Time Audit because you can’t plan a better quarter from a vague sense of being busy. You need to see where your time is actually going, what is genuinely important, what is simply urgent, and what has become a distraction or drain.
From there, we’ll broaden the conversation beyond simply managing your diary.
I’ll be joined by expert guests for a practical conversation about how we work at our best without the way we work becoming unsustainable. We’ll explore the connection between workload, energy, burnout and working in your genius - including recognising when the way you’re working is taking too much from you, and getting clearer about where your particular strengths, capability and experience create the most value.
Because this isn’t just about wellbeing. It’s also about the business.
A business that relies on constant owner or leader output eventually starts costing too much in energy, decision quality and sustainability. And a business gets better value from you when your time is spent on the work you are best placed to do, rather than work that should be delegated, systemised, automated or stopped.
Across the day, we’ll cover:
· A Time Audit to sort the work that is urgent, important, distracting or draining
· An hourly rate exercise to put a dollar value on low-payoff work
· An expert conversation exploring burnout, energy, sustainable performance and working in your genius
· Practical discussion about what helps us work at our best - and what gets in the way
· A 90-day Plan for the habits, handovers and diary decisions that need to change next quarter
You’ll leave with a practical and focused plan for the next quarter and decisions you can use straight away:
· What to protect in your diary
· What to hand over properly instead of just hoping someone picks it up
· What belongs on your not-to-do list
· What low-value work is costing you across the quarter
· What needs to move first when you get back to work
Bring your diary, your current task list, and a real view of what your week looks like when things get busy.
Come ready to have an honest look at the way you’re working and build a better plan for the next 90 days.
