There are many ways that we’re told we can reduce our stress: red wine, regular exercise, meditation, voodoo dolls, sex and green tea. Whilst all of them may work, they all tackle symptoms rather than the root cause. Here’s what you can do!

Or if you’re stressed about your work, you could of course come on our ‘How to Get Things Done’ workshop, or book one of our contemporary time management courses for your team.

Think Productive have teamed up with Train to Gain to offer charities a grant to access our “Getting Your Inbox to Zero” in-house workshop for FREE*!

At Think Productive, we love David Allen’s Getting Things Done – it’s one of the major time management systems we use both internally as a team and with our clients as part of our workshops. Here are 10 ways you know you’ve cracked it. Feel free to add your own as a comment too!

1. You think about clearing your email in the same way as you think about checking your voicemail
2. Wherever you go, you’ve always got a way to write things down
3. You know there’s a really important conversation you need to have with your partner so you put it on your agendas list
4. You read stuff you actually want to read when you’re on public transport or the dentists waiting room, rather than the free newspapers provided
5. When you think about where to go on holiday, your next thought is ‘what’s the next action?’
6. You have a favourite time or place to do your weekly review
7. You become the annoying person in a meeting who actually wants to know what the meeting is for in the first place
8. You feel relaxed and in control, despite having more projects on the go than anyone else you know
9. When you’re in the middle of a city centre with an hour or so to kill, you’ve got a list of shopping or culture possibilities to make sure the time is used productively
10. You don’t get overwhelmed about work at the beginning or end of the working week because you know your GTD system includes a thorough weekly review
