The problem

Is your team losing track of its inbox and tasks?

It isn’t a lack of will or attitude. It’s a lack of digital competence. Doing your best work takes more than promising software.

8 email checks
before an item is processed
26 active inboxes
per person — personal and business
Every 6 minutes
another notification interrupts focused work

On average, each person loses about 3 hours per week — for a team of 20, that’s over CHF 150,000 a year.

The method

How Productivity Habits works.

Productivity Habits is a behavior-driven system for managing digital work. It brings all information into one central place, files every task where it belongs, and keeps the whole of the work reliably in view.

Inbox Zero & Tasks starts where the lever is biggest: the inbox and the tasks. Those are the two places where everyday work changes fastest and most visibly.

Your team always knows what needs attention — and from that overview come clarity, focus, and the confidence that people can rely on one another in everyday work.

Content

What your team learns, concretely.

Two modules, four hours, one workflow. Both modules come from Level 1 of PH Fundamentals — in full here, not as an excerpt.

Module 01

Inbox Zero

2 hrs
01Inbox Zero2 hrs
What your team learns

A clear decision system for every item in the inbox — what gets handled, delegated, filed or deleted. Along with the shortcuts and quick moves for fast processing, and a filing system for filing fast and retrieving reliably.

The result

An inbox that stays empty — and full control over incoming messages.

Module 03

Master tasks

2 hrs
03Master tasks2 hrs
What your team learns

A task environment that shows only what’s relevant right now — with a system that makes commitments visible instead of hiding them in emails and notes.

The result

All tasks clearly structured and prioritized — nothing falls through the cracks.

The next step Both modules are part of PH Fundamentals — where four more follow. See PH Fundamentals
How the programme works

Not another inspirational seminar. Real work. Real implementation.

Both modules follow the same proven sequence. Participants work directly in their own system — on their real work, not on examples.

01

Principle

Learn a clear decision framework for emails and tasks.

02

Setup

Together, we configure your own system to best practice.

03

Apply it immediately — until the work is clear and visible.

Why companies choose Productivity Habits.

60%

of training time goes into organizing and working through real tasks. With us, training time isn’t unproductive downtime — it’s working time.

Half a day, not a whole one

Four hours for the biggest lever. Your team stays operational while it learns.

Immediate application

From the first minute, people work on real tasks — the value is created during the training, not only afterwards.

A start that continues

When it works, the same path carries on — with the remaining modules of PH Fundamentals.

Proven in practice

“These aren’t tips and tricks — it fundamentally changes the way you work. And it leads to real reliability.”

Marco Fetz · Head of Procurement Construction, SBB

“What stood out to me was how practical and personal this felt — less about following rigid rules, more about finally building a rhythm that fits your own way of working, real habits, not just theory. Chaos turns into clarity, and that clarity actually sticks.”

Stefanie Schramm · Talent Development, New Work – New Skills – New Learning, Schindler Aufzüge AG (Schweiz)

“I could have used this much earlier. For new employees, it should be part of the onboarding from day one.”

Dominik Gässler · Project Engineer, Gruner

“The fear of forgetting something stayed with me for a long time — it’s gone. Today I have almost everything under control.”

Yolanda Yossi · Leadership Support, Legal, Swiss Post

“From the very first day I was excited about this new way of working. I feel noticeably more relaxed today.”

Tanja Lussi · Global HR Analyst, Medela

“20% theory — the rest is practical work in your environment.”
