Go Reactive to Proactive... Without the Stress

So, how do you go about doing it all?
The way to a stress-free work life starts with looking at your existing life, modifying what is not serving you, and building a support system that allows you to do everything. Here is what you need to do:

1. Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your present system
2. Make your environment more efficient
3. (Re-) discover your goals, and make action plans
4. Optimize your day
5. Eliminate your time-robbers
6. Practice effective communication
7. Be ready for emergencies, large and small
8. Develop strategies to prevent stress from taking hold

These are the steps of the Office Relief System that I created to help professionals just like you increase their productivity and balance work and life. The professionals I have worked with who have applied those steps have seen their work lives become much less stressful, more productive and more balanced in a short period of time.

How short is it?
Well, it depends on how committed you are to work on those different steps. It is not a quick fix, in the sense that it requires you to do a lot of work and then to maintain it, but you can see significant results in as little as a month, sometimes even less. If you follow the program, you will feel more proactive and less stressed.

Who is this program for?
It is for self-employed professionals, anyone in sales or small business owners who have a lot of demands on their time and feel stuck in reactive mode because of that, and who want to change this situation. I'm know to work very well with committed go-getters. If you are looking for a magic bullet that transforms your work life without effort on your part, I'm not the right person for you.

A little about my background
After a time in academia (I have a PhD in telecommunications), I chose to leave the field - because I wanted to work with people rather than numbers - and worked in corporate America in various functions. In particular, I worked as technical manager in a small consulting firm specializing in issues related to non-traditional scheduling and fatigue; as the right arm of the COO of a fast-paced company; as the right arm to a micro-business owner. I then started to work for myself, as a professional organizer specializing in office environments, but soon found that I needed to add time management to the services that I offered to my clients. Because of my varied experience, I'm not talking to you as a know-it-all expert, but someone who has been in a similar situation you are, who has hands-on experience with the challenges of managing my own business as well as managing a mid-size business. With me you gain a cheerleader, an advisor, but never a judge!
