Susan Clark, author of the Sage ACT! Quick Study Guide, is guest presenter on productivity kaizen at the November ACT! User Group meeting.
Well, it’s that time of year.
My desk is pleading for a desktop clearance intervention and, at my gym, the increased number of cars in the parking lot confirms that it’s do-over season again.
The good news is that every end of the year brings each of us a fresh chance to rethink how to get things done better in the new year.
Fortunately, the moon and stars are in alignment for our final, end-of-year ACT! User Group on leveraging ACT! for higher productivity. And here’s why. My good buddy, Susan Clark, president of Cornerstone Solutions in Houston, will be the special guest presenter.
Susan has been the author of the official Sage ACT! Quick Study Guide (QSG) for the past 15 years and is the undisputed authority in the ACT! Software world for her expertise in using ACT! as a productivity tool.

What You Will Learn at the ACT! User Group
If you find yourself…
- Managing too many fluid projects at once
- Trying to hold yourself or your employees, team or family accountable to their commitments
- Struggling to prioritize your day, week or month
…then register now to hear Susan address these challenges and the universal question of, “How do I get myself to do the things I need to do most?” In other words, how do you battle inertia, procrastination and other activity blocks that keep you from finishing what you start and are holding you back from accomplishing the very best version of yourself everyday?
You’ll also pick up tips for…
- Creating new ACT! records faster
- Setting up relationships between contacts
- Keeping track of reference files (like docs, pdfs, favorite web pages, etc.)
- Rethinking how to use the ACT!’s Task list more efficiently
Susan will share her A-HA! inspiring Three “S” Grid, which easily breaks down the 4 phases of productivity in a way that will give you instant clarity on where to invest your self-improvement efforts.
Best of all, Susan has already figured out how to apply *anybody’s* time management or productivity system to ACT! so you don’t have to. Just add your industry expertise, and you’re ready to go.
ACT! Productivity Kaizen
Susan’s *thing* in life is productivity kaizen. She’s the one who taught me how to clean my blender with hot soapy water on high speed immediately after use. She’s the one who knows a month in advance what she’ll be wearing every day of the week at the Sage ACT! trade show, which we usually attend together. (She also hangs up every outfit and then puts it into her suitcase after wearing it, so that by the time we check out, she’s already packed. I’m amazed when I can plan my outfit the night before, let alone a whole month out.)
And, for you gentlemen reading this, she knows more about home improvement than most guys I know. She drew her own home remodel blueprints down to placement of the remote control fireplace, and I’ve seen evidence of her efficient influence on her husband and two sons. She’s truly an equal-opportunity productivity force of nature. (Really, the only reason I can still be friends with her is because she has a “busy” desk like mine.)
Susan’s 500+-page QSG is packed full of ACT! tips just like her lifehacker tips. In other words, she doesn’t just show you what ACT! buttons to click. She shows you smart ways to use ACT! that increase your quality of work life and put you fully in charge of your precious allotment of 86,400 seconds a day.
Since she and I will be together this year on ACT! User Group day, she agreed to share some of her ACT! productivity tips with you, whether you join us in person in St. Louis or via online meeting from wherever you are.
As an ACT! user, you already own a great technology tool. Why not tap into all that internal greatness you’ve bottled up inside and seize the new year with a fresh approach turning ACT! into a productivity tool?
