The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity

Bring your best self to work with this unique productivity process.

By FranklinCovey—now available through AMA. The 5 Choices to Extraordinary Productivity ® course is based on ideas and practices accumulated over decades from the leaders of productivity. This course will help you develop the necessary tools to maximize productivity, achieve results and be more successful. You will learn how to filter the vitally important priorities from distractions so you can focus on making a real contribution. Redefine your role in terms of extraordinary results to achieve your highest priority goals. You will learn how to make more selective, high-impact choices about where to invest your valuable time, attention, and energy. Apply the “5 Energy Drivers” to consistently recharge mentally and physically. The barrage of information coming at you from multiple sources (e.g., texts, email, chats, alerts), coupled with the demands of your career, are overwhelming and distracting. The sheer volume of information threatens your ability to think clearly and make wise decisions about what’s important. If you react to these stimuli without clear discernment, you fail to accomplish the goals that matter most in your professional and personal life. Supported by science and years of experience, this course not only produces a measurable increase in productivity but can also provide you with a renewed sense of engagement and accomplishment. To maximize your learning in this course, bring your laptop for a more hands-on experience.

This is a very good class for prioritizing tasks and identifying important vs urgent. The outlook tools are excellent.

Brian W.

QA MANAGER

Industry: Holding Company & Conglomerate

A must course for those that struggle in the day to day survival of tasking and prioritization. The class helps you distinguish and determine what is important and really priority. I now know the key questions to ask to diffuse someones perceived urgency as well as scheduling "Me Time" in the day to avoid interruptions and do the items I need to do.
