During our workday, we are distracted by countless messages, apps and emails. We are too busy with our mailbox and sit in too many and too long meetings. As a result, we don't get to our actual work, causing unnecessarily long days and stress. This comes at the expense of your productivity. In this workshop, I teach teams how to guard against all the distractions and get to their work.

Our work has changed tremendously in recent years. Anyone can become famous through social media and every organization has access to the latest AI gadgets. To throw some jargon at it: technology has become a commodity, knowledge has been democratized.
So how do you still make a difference as a professional, company, organization, amateur or team? By staying in the race longer (more sustainable), being faster (more productive) and smarter (more creative, more innovative). All of these things require one thing: attention. Attention is our superpower. Those who know how to manage their attention are more creative, more productive, happier, more innovative and less likely to drop out.
Anyone who works with a computer or smartphone experiences daily how difficult it is to manage attention. Therefore, it is high time to reclaim our attention. That is why I started Aandachtswerk. From Aandachtswerk, I give keynotes, lectures and workshops on working smarter. That way you get two working days each working week as a gift - without having to work one minute longer.

We make too little impact in a working week
Ideally, every minute you work, you would be busy with tasks that make a difference. Unfortunately, the reality is different. We allow ourselves to be distracted by apps and messages on social media. We are too preoccupied with our mailbox. We are in too much and too long of a mailbox.

How do you make sure your work week is much more composed of important work? By making sure you spend less time distracted, less time sitting in meetings and less time working in your mailbox. And by putting out fewer fires. That way you get more done in less time, which results in fewer long days, fewer stressed colleagues, and that in turn contributes to sustainable employability. That looks like this:

But how do you do it?
In a half-day workshop (a morning or afternoon), I teach your team the following four things:

Smarter emailing
Every day we spend too much time in our mailbox. I have read the manual of all mail programs, discovered all the hidden features and teach how to mail smarter-and less often.

Less distractions
We allow our attention to be stolen without realizing it. From Instagram to LinkedIn, smart tricks are fighting for our attention. Avoid distractions, stay focused and get more done in less time.

Time to spare
We don't get to our work because of too many meetings. That can be done smarter. Many organizations and teams lack clear agreements about emailing, appending and calling, making it unclear which messages are urgent. I teach you how to have fewer meetings and a smarter agenda.

Time for priority
We often don't know what work makes the difference. Not every task that is fun makes an impact, not every important job is also urgent. Increase your impact with the right priorities and learn how to get and keep those projects in your calendar.

What are others saying?
Korak Specht, head of operations at SkyBox, says the following about the training, "A super helpful workshop where we learned to work smarter, get less distracted and stressed. I can recommend it to everyone."
