Course Overview

The workplace is an evolving creature. Year after year, new technologies, processes and theories push their way into organizations around the world, propelling business into each new era. If there’s one area where cloud seems a natural fit, it’s in those areas of business life that are not based around fixed office hours and location. Until someone puts more hours in the day or days in the week, many of us are stuck with a 40-hour work week. Tackling everything that needs to be done can be quite a struggle. To find the best way to manage your time as well as your productivity, look no further than the tools from Google.

In this webinar Randy Dean shows several strategies and techniques on how the new Google Suite of productivity apps can seriously be considered for an advanced personal productivity and time management system. Randy will help you understand how many of the different functions within Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Google Tasks & Google Keep.

This online CPE webinar covers the following key topics: 

  • Why Google-based apps stored "in the cloud" make sense for many business professionals
  • Key tips & strategies for Google-based e-mail management, including “folder” design and management, converting e-mails to task, calendar items, and contacts, and automating repeating messages
  • Strategies for managing projects & tasks in a Google/online environment, including an overview of the improved Google Tasks function and related Smart Phone apps
  • Calendaring tips and techniques for online calendar management anywhere, including meeting management, effective use of reminders, group calendar access, and more
  • A smart daily "Start Up" routine that will guarantee you are focusing on key projects, people, and commitments with less distraction
  • Clearing the clutter from your head using easily available Google Keep
  • Managing your contacts online using Google Contacts and apps like LinkedIn (& even Facebook)

This Online CPE webinar will enable you to develop a fully coordinated approach for managing your time, projects, tasks, people, and of course, your email, using powerful Google tools in the Chrome browser, and on your smartphone or tablet. It is recommended for anyone who would like to manage their email and other information more effectively using Gmail and Google tools.
