Description

If your to-do list is three miles long and your inbox is pretending to be your task manager, this episode of The Teamwork Advantage podcast is for you. Workload-management expert Leslie Shreve unpacks Taskology™ - the science of getting things done - a methodology for your technology (not another app) built around four pillars: Tasks, Time, Email, and Information.

You’ll learn how to move from busy to better by building one central digital task list and assigning action dates (DO, not DUE) so priorities finally match your calendar (and your energy). The payoff: less overwhelm, more focus, and visible progress every day.

We’ll also tackle the elephant in the room - email - with a simple, durable system: make fast decisions, separate action vs. reference, design folders that fit on one screen, and store contacts/attachments where they truly belong (CRM and drive), so your inbox gets back to zero by design; not on accident.

Leaders, you’ll hear a clear path to model the behavior you want: pull tasks from every source (email, chats, meetings, hallway asks) into one complete list so you and your team stop flying blind and start planning with 100% awareness.

Try this today: make decisions about everything on your desk and in your inbox; separate reference from action, capture the next step, and give it a DO date. Small steps + real momentum = lower stress.

Grab Leslie’s free tools at ProductiveDay.com - her quick 8-question blind-spot quiz and the 52-week Smart Steps audio series- to keep the gains going.

As always, thanks for listening to The Teamwork Advantage. Remember to make every day excellent and exceptional.
