Just  10 Reasons Why You're Busy...
But NOT Productive

  • Constant Task Switching: Switching between tasks reduces efficiency and focus.
  • Excessive Meetings: Spending too much time in unnecessary meetings.
  • Distractions: Allowing frequent interruptions from notifications and emails.
  • Confusing Motion with Progress: Sure, you're busy - but busy with what?
  • Perfectionism: Spending too much time perfecting minor details.
  • Lack of Clear Goals: Working without a clear direction or objective.
  • Procrastination: Delaying important tasks in favor of easier ones.
  • Inefficient Processes: Following outdated or inefficient workflows.

Meet Steve

I'm the author of the book Time Rich, a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review on all things productivity, host of the 1M+ download Future Squared podcast, and founder of several companies including 2018 Australian Financial Review Fast Starter, Collective Campus.

I've worked for and in organizations of all shapes and sizes - startups, large consulting firms, listed banks, Government departments and agencies, and not-for profits - and I understand the culture and nuances of each when it comes to how they get stuff done, and more importantly, how they don't.

Ask Steve a Question
What's the cost of an hour wasted?
The average Australian makes $98,000 a year.

That's about $50 an hour assuming a 38-hour work week.

And while people are confessing to wasting several hours a week in studies, the reality is far worse.

Whatever you think of Elon Musk, his termination of 80% of Twitter's workforce without significant or prolonged disruption to the platform spoke volumes about just how much time people can waste at work.

Furthermore, Bartleby's Law says that for 80% of people, 80% of meetings are a waste of time.

When you account for pointless Zoom calls and meetings, and time spent on shallow level "busy work" and distracted by the persistent ding of our smartphones, the average employee is wasting half their time at work - that's 19 hours or $950 a week.

And the number only goes up with more headcount, hours, and greater salaries.

A team of 20 with an average salary of $150K would, on average, waste almost $1.5M a year.

But it's not just the direct cost, it's the opportunity cost.People are hired not to extract value, but to create value.

What if instead of wasting $50, they were using that time to create $100 instead?

Money aside... people want to do work that matters, not just show up. Sadly, today, it seems we're doing more of the latter, with 85% of people globally not engaged at work, according to Gartner.

In this workshop, we'll teach your team how to reclaim hours lost so they can focus on doing what they were not only hired to do, but where they can derive the most joy from their work - by doing meaningful work, and creating meaningful value.
Work smarter. Not harder.

You've probably heard this before. Most people have.
But nobody ever told them what working smarter actually means, and more importantly, how to do it.

In this workshop, your team will learn:

01
The History of Work

For most of human history we were hunter-gatherers and farmers. Working behind a computer is a very recent phenomena.
Discover why this matters, and how it impacts the way you work today.

02
Productivity Pitfalls

Discovery the myriad traps that you and your team are falling into on a daily basis, not only wasting your time, but making you exhausted.

03
Time Management for Teams

It's not enough to optimize the way you work if you work in unproductive and bureaucratic teams that value looking busy, over being valuable. Discover how organizations sabotage their people, and what to do about it.

04
Brain Boosters

Discover the physiological and environmental changes you can make to get your cognition into sixth gear.

05
How to Beat Workplace Stress

Excessive workloads, a lack of control, and work-life conflicts are the three biggest contributors to workplace stress. Discover actionable steps to tackle these, decrease stress at your organization, and improve the wellbeing of your people.

What my clients say
"Steve delivers insights in a naturally engaging style, ensuring you are thinking differently and challenging your biases throughout the workshop. The productivity session I undertook with our Retail team, unlocked new ways to approach work effort and measure value delivered roles. The full day course received 100% satisfaction with all participants stating that it was time well spent."
- Jessica Pagano, National Operations Manager @ Charter Hall
"We were thrilled to have Steve Glaveski train our teams on productivity, he is an inspiring leader and the sessions have been eye-opening."

"We were thrilled to have Steve Glaveski's How To Get Twice As Much Done In Half The Time talk as one of our SXSW professional development sessions. The way Steve reframes workplace productivity backed by science was particularly impactful because many of us have been dealing with the distractions of working from home over the last year. Steve's session was one of the highlights of SXSW and we hope to have him join us again."
- Michelle LoDuca, Organizer @ SXSW
Case Study 01

Stuart is Europe's leading on-demand logistics platform, boasting over 500 employees. It connects businesses to a fleet of geo-localized independent couriers.

Challenge Solution

Stuart is Europe's leading on-demand logistics platform, boasting over 500 employees. It conStuart approached me to help it optimize both individual and team productivity, and mental health, as the logistics company continues its rapid expansion across Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I developed a four part webinar series for Stuart, leveraging the research I conducted when writing Time Rich as well as my own extensive trial and error in the space of optimizing my team's productivity over the previous seven years.nects businesses to a fleet of geo-localized independent couriers.

Outcome

Participants were surveyed at the end of each session, and at the end of the series, and the webinar series received a 94% recommendation rating.

Participants - consisting of both managers and individual contributors - were able to apply practical insights immediately after each session to ramp up both their productivity and improve their physical and mental health as well.

Case Study 02

Charter Hall is one of Australia’s leading property groups, with a total managed property portfolio of over $22.5 billion. The group owns and manages over 300 commercial properties around Australia, including office buildings, retail centres, and industrial assets.

Challenge Solution

Charter Hall desired to make its people more productive so that they could not only create more valuable outcomes, but do so in less time, and without the need to invest in additional resources.

I developed a one day productivity session, based on my Harvard Business Review article 'The Case for the Six-Hour Workday'.

The session introduced participants to the many ways they are unwittingly sabotaging their productivity, in addition to a number of tools and techniques that could serve to increase their productivity by up to a factor of 5.

Outcome

Participants became aware of the various ways they sabotage their productivity. Participants took back to not only their own work, but their colleagues and teams, different techniques and tools that they could apply immediately to realize a measurable increase in output, whilst also decreasing the stress that comes with losing control of one's workload.

Participants spoke incredibly highly of the session, evidenced in the testimonial provided above.

COMPANIES I'VE WORKED WITH
Five time management myths
Myth 1 - If I just keep pushing, success will come.

Stop confusing motion with progress. How many hours have you lost by screen switching, slack checking, email replying, and social media stalking without anything productive produced at the end of it?

You get busy being busy and “busy” is a lousy proxy for productive. It usually means ‘out of control’.

And this shallow level process-oriented work doesn’t move the needle, but leaves you feeling absolutely exhausted with little time/energy for anything else come the end of the day.

Albert Einstein’s insanity quote is painfully overused but is unquestionably relevant here.You need a different approach otherwise you will continue to walk the long lonely path of overworked and underachievement.

Myth 2 - You need to sacrifice in order to win.

Do you need to dedicate time and effort to your business? Sure.

But if you buy into the notion that you need to sacrifice the best years of your life in order to grow your company, you’re selling yourself way short.

Submitting to the #hustle and #crushingit culture is a one-way ticket to burnout and bankruptcy my friend.

Success DOESN'T have to come at the expense of happiness.

When your business activities are properly prioritized, actioned, and automated you can dedicate a small but productive amount of time to focus on the deep work necessary to scale up in a sustainable way that doesn’t pull you away from the life you want to live.

Myth 3 - It is not about getting better at what you do.

Because what you actually need is a shift in the way you think.
It's as simple as adopting a new lens to view your entire business and life through...

Where things were once chaotic, confusing and blurry...

Suddenly it becomes obvious where you really need to invest your attention and energy (the big "levers").

And just as importantly, you recognize the things that seemed crucial... yet can be removed completely.

Myth 4 - If you want something done right, do it yourself.

Wrong.

If you adopt this approach then you’re always going to be limited by the hours available in a day and the mental bandwidth you have to complete energy-draining tasks.

Sure, you may have been burnt by an over-promising, under performing freelancer, or an unmotivated team member in the past but you can’t let these past experiences strip you of the ability to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

It’s the workflows and procedures you put in place that are the scaffolding that holds this entire business operation together and allows it to operate like a well-oiled machine with as little man-management from yourself as possible.

You just need to understand what these are and implement them successfully.

Myth 5 - It's not worth outsourcing this.

If you’re passionate about growing your business and have plans to make a bigger impact while maintaining your sanity, you can’t afford NOT to have a team supporting your every move.

A high-performing team isn’t something you invest in once you’re “big enough”.It’s HOW you get to that point in the first place.

More love from my clients

"I got a lot out of Steve's course. As someone who is inclined to seek distraction during my working day, Time Rich helped me focus my attention on value-creating tasks, prolong my flow state and optimize parts of the day when I'm most productive. This has enabled me to reclaim on average 2-3 hours of my day which I spend outdoors, at the beach, and with my kids. Thanks, Steve, carpe diem!"

- Dan Nikolin, Tennis Australia

"Steve's course was insanely practical. There's a tonne of productivity and entrepreneurship courses out at the moment, it's a bit hard to identify the signal from the noise, but this one definitely cut through because of how granular and comprehensive it was.

If you're looking for a complete A-Z walkthrough of building/running a LIFESTYLE in the modern age this is an absolute must.

Thanks for the amazing contribution of knowledge and experience Steve
"

- James Nguyen, Deciphr AI

"Steve knows how to create TIME in his life. He walks the walk. I have implemented a lot of these strategies and noticed a huge increase in my own focus and productivity (which was already very high)."

- Lucas Aoun, founder of Boost Your Biology

I don't just teach this...
I live it.

There are other time management courses on the market, but most are run by dated, boring management societies, and facilitated by folks that have learned how to read and regurgitate from a tired curriculum.

But real insight comes from application and experience.

I've run literally thousands of experiments, studied and applied numerous time management and productivity techniques in my businesses for the past decade.
I've learned what works and what doesn't.

Doing so has empowered me to achieve the following in that time:
* launch one seven figure business, and three six figure
* businesses
* write five books
* produce 600+ podcast episodes
* write 500+ blog posts
* speak on stages all over the world
* and actually have a life - surf, gym, yoga, travel, perform standup comedy, read great books, and more.

What happens if your team doesn't take this workshop?
Workplace stress is on the rise around the world.

The culprit? A lack of control, excessive workloads, and work-life balance conflicts.

You might think you and your team don't have time for a workshop on time management, but that's akin to saying you don't have time to take care of your health - it will cost you and the organization a lot more in the long-run.
Under-perform

The best talent in the world won't make a difference if they're burdened by procedure, are constantly distracted, spend too much time in wasteful meetings, and don't quite know how to do their best work.

Burnout

When people turn up in their physical form only, but leave their mind in bed, that's a sure sign of burnout - and working long hours, for little to no reward, drives people to this dangerous precipice.

Employee turnover

It's not just the cost of wasted time that hurts, but as your people become tired, burnt out, and disenfranchised, they will leave, the cost of which can be upwards of $20,000 per employee, and incredibly disruptive

Who this workshop is for
01

Corporate and startup teams who are constantly chasing small dopamine hits by switching screens between email, Slack/Teams, social media, and their phone, and as such, find it difficult to sit and focus on the high-value activities.

02

Corporate and startup teams who are losing confidence in their ability to actually get things done… and then lowering what they expect of themselves as a result.

03

Corporate and startup teams who are sick of looking back on the last quarter (or longer) and realizing they haven’t actually made any worthwhile progress…

04

Corporate and startup teams whole lives have become their work and they use work as a socially validated distraction away from the problems or holes in their life.

05

Corporate and startup teams who after pumping out continuous 12-hour workdays finally crack under the pressure and escape by going AWOL, taking unplanned "mental health days" off just to deal with the burnout and distract them from the overwhelm of all the work they need to complete…
