In this talk, I will share powerful methods that will help boost your business and improve your productivity by taking full advantage of your WordPress website.

WordPress is already known to be a powerful tool for growing and promoting your services and business.

But what you may not know is that WordPress can also be used to track time, manage your contacts, collect payments, brainstorm ideas, track your health, share files and much more, directly from within your own WordPress website.

We will explore many of the features that will help you take full advantage of your WordPress website to help empower you or your business to its fullest potential.

November 23, 2018 — We have two recipes on how to be a highly productive remote worker, given from different perspectives and in Spanish and English.

Raul works primarily from a stable environment, is married and has three children. His tips and tricks apply to everyone working from home, an independent office or a coworking spot. En Español.
Kat works primarily from a changing environment with varying WiFi/data speeds and connectivity, different languages and time zones. Her hints and hacks apply to everyone who travels one day/week/month or all year. In English.

We’ll have a Q&A session, plus invite the community to add “new ingredients” to the recipe based on their experience.

May 6, 2018 — We all have 24 hours in our days, but we spend them very differently. This talk is about the discoveries I came across, tracking every minute of my life since February 2017. I use time tracking across all areas of my life.

This presentation will be divided into two sections: ‚The benefits of time tracking at work‘ and ‚The benefits of time tracking in your daily life‘.

I find that time tracking has the following effects: increased productivity, improving choosing the right task to work on, feeling in control of your day/life and making an excellent feedback loop for reflection.

May 5, 2018 — Por mi trabajo, tengo la fortuna de coincidir con mucha gente con ganas de emprender y hacer cosas. Siempre hay algo que coincide en la mayoría de ellos: falta de tiempo.

En esta charla me gustaría hablar sobre la gestión de tiempo, herramientas que nos ayudan a estar centrados, ver cómo podemos crear un calendario de contenidos para que la vida nos de para todo lo que queremos.

Lo importante es poder sentarte delante del ordenador y que este te diga qué tienes que hacer ese día. Y además, saber que lo que pone ahí es lo que hay, y que no te estás olvidando de nada. Esto da una tranquilidad mental increíble y te permite poder sacar todo el trabajo adelante y disfrutar de la vida.

April 6, 2018 — Adam Silver evolved from standard “geek/nerd” with ambitions of stardom to a WordPress techie to agency owner accidentally. His story of how he realized what it meant to do the work, focus and use tools to enhance productivity will have you nodding your head and wondering how you can take the next step.

His stories of discovering his “why”, recognizing “the one thing” and “showing up” will inspire you to overcome. You’ll love his easy-going approach, mixed with comedic relief, and cache of productivity tools to help you to overcome shiny object syndrome and imposter syndrome. Hopefully it will help you take your business to the next level.

November 10, 2017 — The number of tools available to speed up, streamline and organize tasks can be overwhelming, and new apps and software seem to be launched every day. A combination of “Fear of Missing Out” on the latest and greatest things, and “Shiny Object Syndrome” can result in hours of distraction and rabbit holes, playing with, trying out and testing new “toys.”

This talk will review some of the best tools to help general productivity, as well as some tools specific to the web design/development workflow. We will discuss tasks that need tools and those that may not, as well as how to know when a tool is not worth using or when it is/is not time to switch to a something new.

May 27, 2017 — Everyone wants to get more done with their day, but we’ve fooled ourselves into thinking that putting more hours in at work results in more productivity. I’d like to dispell that myth and offer practical solutions for freelancers and teams to maximize their productivity while working less hours.
