Once again, you find yourself caught in a bad meeting. As you glance at your watch, you are hoping it will end quickly, and put you out of your misery. Why? Little of value is being accomplished.

But how can you make sure this problem goes away? If you’re in an organization, ”Saying No” may give you some relief, but it does not solve the underlying issue. In fact, you are not sure anything will!

Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Ben Kirk, we solve this wicked problem together.

You are someone who is well acquainted with the skill of capturing. In other words, you know that it’s important to write everything down that’s important. You know better than to keep it all in your head - that’s a basic productivity lesson.

But lately, you have noticed that the number of things you need to write own, or capture, has exploded. It seems like just the other day when a Post-it note was enough. Now, you are writing everything down in something like a notebook and you feel as if you still can’t catch up.

What’s wrong? What else should you be doing?

Tune into this episode to hear from me and my special guest, Brad Aeon, as we solve this wicked task management problem together.

You are in charge of implementing your company’s new strategic plan. It includes some brilliant new ideas which should shake up your industry, and even introduce the world to a new category of products and services.

But you are a bit wary because prior strategic plans barely made it off the PowerPoint pages. They weren’t implemented due to a common complaint - no-one had the time.

You have every reason to be worried, but what should you do about the problem?

Tune into this episode to join me in tackling this wicked problem from two perspectives at once…task management and strategic planning.
