June PD Recap: Productive from Anywhere

by Dallas SWE on in Professional Development

On June 11, Dallas SWE hosted our second virtual professional development event with speaker and local member Pam Duffy! Her presentation “Productive from Anywhere: Practical Tips to Get Stuff Done” was not only helpful in offering ways to stay focused and organized, especially while working from home or in shifting environments, but it was also entertaining and engaging. Using a polling app, attendees were able to send in responses to Pam’s polling questions in real time.

One highly effective method included in her presentation was the Pomodoro Technique which help keep you focused and motivated by breaking up time into 25 minute working intervals followed by a 5 minute break. Pam shared how she has used the technique and where to find apps and tools to help you carry out this strategy. To watch a similar presentation given by Pam for ASHRAE earlier this year and to download the presentation, please visit her website. The link also contains additional resources and time management tips. You will be glad you visited!
