About this listen
There’s no denying work has changed in the past couple of years. Potentially faster and more than in the previous five or ten years!
The rise of remote work, work from home, work from anywhere, telework, work across different time zones and hybrid work (some people here/some there) continues to create change and challenges.
What’s one of the best ways to respond and adapt to the changing world of work?
It’s to consider not just the work itself … but the WAY it gets done.
Consider:
- Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time? (synchronous work)
- Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work)
A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways.
That is, some work is completed synchronously—at the same time with other people; and other elements of work completed asynchronously—at a time and in a way that suits them.
"Sync Async: Making progress easier in the changing world of work"
In this book you'll learn about:
- how, why and when to work in sync and async ways
- tools for creating your team’s sync async strategy
- ways to identify the type of work you prefer
- techniques to work in more async ways
- how to make daily progress easier—get started on things that have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed.
You don’t need to wait for a culture to change or for someone to give you the go ahead on this.
You can start working better in both sync and async ways from today.
There will always be too much to do and not enough time in which to do it.
Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier … and the rest of life better.

If you’re looking to maintain the status quo and be “just an assistant”, this audiobook is not for you. But, if you want the confidence and ability to conquer the challenges that most try to avoid, then you’re in the right place.
