Collect, Organize, Do: The Beginners Guide to Productivity Systems

By Carl Pullein

In Collect, Organize, Do, an audio course from Scribd Coach, productivity and time management author Carl Pullein helps you understand the basics of building a productivity system that’s uniquely effective and uniquely yours. Over the course of five distinct units, Pullein equips you with the tools you need to develop a plan that works for you — not someone else — and the mindset to maintain it.

In the course, Pullein explains his “Collect, Organize, Do” framework, which helps lift stress and empowers you to handle whatever is thrown at you: collecting information for organization and action; specific tools and practices, like the “golden ten minutes,” and how they can maximize your productivity; and the PACT framework, designed to teach you how to explore productivity systems with patience, action, and consistency.

If you’re looking for fresh, practical productivity advice that works, you’ve come to the right place. Pullein is a long-time master of productivity, his course bursting with original insights.
