Why do we need to have one or more Productivity Toolkits?
Productivity Toolkit saves your time and money which you could use them somewhere more productively. Period.
How do you know you when you should use one?
You have more things to do but you’re struggling to complete even some of them.
Note:- We should treat each piece of work or chore as a project.
When is it a project?
In project management terms, a project is work that has a beginning and an end. It is planned & controlled and brought to a successful conclusion.
Some examples of projects are:
- Planning a training session or conference
- Refurbishing an office
- Managing a computer installation programme
- Moving office
- Organising social club functions
- Introducing new service
- Making changes to a management structure or processes.
There is a saying, “Fail to plan, Plan to fail”.
Detailed planning begins with
Step 1 – Identify The Tasks
Step 2 – Place The Tasks In Logical Order
Step 3 – Study The Implications
Step 4 – Estimate Resource Requirements
Step 5 – Identify The Project Hierarchy
Step 6 – Clarify Who Can Make What Decisions
Step 7 – Monitoring And Controlling
Step 8 – Ground Rules

Not long ago, to do all the above was hardwork. To be in control and managed the project successfully, you need to know how to use project and office softwares, many spreadsheets and complementary specialised softwares to collect and store vast amount of project documentation. Not an easy task.
Is it possible to have all the project scheduling, cost, resources, risks, issues, documentation and reporting all managed within one user friendly softwares package?
Yes. Wait No More.
