4 steps to time mgmt
The document outlines 4 steps to effective time management: 1) use goals to drive weekly and daily activities, 2) practice being a mindful unitasker by focusing on one task at a time, 3) understand the consequences of completing or not completing tasks to prioritize them, and 4) categorize to-dos into must-do, should-do, and could-do buckets to schedule tasks. Effective time management allows one to be more productive while feeling a sense of accomplishment and less stress through managing priorities and distractions.
Time Management Workshop
This document provides a 4-step approach to effective time management. Step 1 involves seeing activities in terms of their consequences for completing or not completing tasks. Step 2 is to cascade goals from overall purpose down to specific actions. Step 3 is to practice being a "mindful unitasker" by focusing on one task at a time. Step 4 is to organize to-do items into "buckets" of must-do, should-do, and could-do tasks and schedule items from the must-do bucket. Following these 4 steps can help individuals be more productive by managing distractions, prioritizing based on goals and consequences, and focusing fully on one task at a time.

Make Your Strategic Plan a Living Process
This document provides guidance on developing and maintaining a strategic plan through establishing vision, mission, values, goals, and action plans with defined timeframes for review. It emphasizes the importance of setting targets and goals for 3 years, 1 year, quarters, weeks, and days. Key elements include conducting a SWOT analysis, setting key performance indicators, establishing regular meeting rhythms from daily to annual reviews to ensure accountability and progress toward the strategic plan. The overall message is that a strategic plan needs to be a living process that is continuously reviewed and updated.
Boost Productivity with Goal Setting
Goal setting involves the development of an action plan designed to motivate and guide a person or group toward a goal. Goal setting can be guided by goal-setting criteria such as SMART criteria. Goal setting is a major component of personal-development and management literature.
Goal setting and SMART
The document discusses the SMART model for goal setting which includes goals that are specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic, and time-bound. It advocates for setting goals using this framework to provide direction, accountability, and a way to track progress. Specific goals are clearer and prevent hiding behind a lack of clarity. Measurable goals allow you to celebrate successes and identify barriers. Action-oriented goals are more effective than vague, thinking goals. Realistic goals factor in your available time and commitments. Time-bound goals provide structure and deadlines. Formalizing goals in this SMART way is recommended, though alternatives are available.

Emerging Leaders for Nonprofits - Leading Self
This pilot project will test a leadership development training model for emerging leaders in environmental organizations that uses a combination of peer learning, coaching, and mentoring. The approach tests a hypothesis that emerging leaders need to have exciting, new assignments as well as the professional development and mentoring they need to succeed. Nonprofits need to create opportunities that embrace talent mobility, special assignments, and job rotation opportunities. This can be thought of as a switch from the traditional career ladder to a career “lattice.”
