Project Management Made Easy: Take Control of Your Career Today

Feeling overwhelmed by all the projects on your plate? In this episode of Get Organized at Work, we’re diving into project management tools for maximum impact and career growth. If you listened to our previous episode on organizing your daily work, you’ve already built a solid foundation for managing your tasks. Now, it’s time to take it to the next level by tackling project management with confidence and clarity.

We’ll start with brain dumping—getting all those ideas and tasks out of your head and into a system that works. Then, we’ll explore how to identify areas for improvement by listening to your team and noticing inefficiencies. You’ll learn how to prioritize projects based on resources, impact, timing, and organizational readiness, ensuring you focus on what truly matters.

Discover tools like project management Gantt charts, project roadmaps, and A3 thinking to keep your projects on track. We’ll also talk about checking on project statuses monthly, communicating progress to the right stakeholders, and measuring success with key performance indicators (KPIs). These strategies will help you stay organized, lead proactively, and achieve measurable results.

Don’t miss this essential episode as we build on daily work strategies and prepare for next week’s discussion on communicating your progress and results to your boss. Tune in now and take control of your career with simple, effective project management techniques!

Feel like you never have time to work on your own projects? Are you always in meetings? Is someone always at your door with questions? I've felt that way before, but when I started time blocking, everything changed and I had more time for my work.

In this video, I answer the following questions:

-What is time blocking? -Why should I time block?

-How do I time block in my calendar?

-What should I time block?

-How do I make more time for my work?

-How do I work in my time blocks without interruptions?

-How do I add time blocks or focus time using Microsoft Outlook?

I know time blocking will change the way you work each day, and you'll find yourself excited about your own projects and less frustrated when you leave for the day.

As leaders, we often feel like our to do lists keep growing each day!

We try to multitask to increase our productivity, but at the end of the day we leave burnt out, wondering "What did I actually get done today?"

In this video, I teach you my "Leave Happy Tasks" method for prioritizing your to do's to make intentional and meaningful progress each day.

This way, you can leave feeling accomplished and excited about your work!

Ever let yourself think you can't create or do something just because it's not PERFECT? Been there. We don't have to be "fine artists" to make art. We don't have to be THE BEST to share. Heck, we don't even have to share everything we do. Find what lights you up in this episode with a little PEP talk from me!

Tag me on IG @kaylafaheyahrndt and let me know what lights you up and fuels your soul even if your'e not PERFECT at it.
