Since you registered early for the Global Leadership Summit, we want to give you something special: exclusive early access to the first four lessons of Juliet Funt’s transformative course, A Minute to Think.
You know that feeling when you’re drowning in your to-do list, racing from meeting to meeting, but somehow getting less done than ever? Leaders at companies like Nike, Spotify, and Sephora felt the same way—until they discovered what you’re about to experience.
Get the individual version—perfect for personal focus and reflection.
Choose the team version—slightly adapted for group learning and discussion.
We can begin replacing busyness and burnout with thoughtfulness and engagement by simply taking a minute to think. This lesson presents an incredibly simple but powerful tool for creating that time to think—the Wedge. You’ll learn what it is, when you should use it, and how it can dramatically change the way you work.
Much of our frenzy, busyness, and overload is fueled by four attributes that tend to overgrow: Drive, Excellence, Information, and Activity. Each of these can be an asset, but when taken to extremes they steal our time. The first step in controlling the thieves is to be aware of them, so in this lesson you’ll learn to recognize each one and find out which are the most problematic
for you.
Once you’ve recognized the thieves that are sneaking into your day, it’s time to start controlling them. This lesson introduces four amazingly nimble questions to ask yourself to redistribute effort away from thief-dominated waste and toward work that is meaningful and valuable. You’ll apply the questions to whatever you’re currently working on, and start thinking about how they can be applied at the team or organizational level.
Prioritizing tasks effectively is pivotal to freeing up mental energy and homing in on high-priority responsibilities. This lesson guides you through identifying tasks driven by the 4 Ps – Panicking, Pandering, Procedure, and Padding. By consciously recognizing and saying no to these low-value tasks, you can create room for meaningful work aligned with business goals and time sensitivities.
