Dedicated to making you more productive…

We help our clients to significantly improve personal productivity in the workplace.

Our corporate clients leverage the investment they have already made in MS Outlook. They begin to use MS Outlook as a business tool to improve planning, communication, delegation, follow-up, organising and generally keeping on top of things while remaining in control. We help them integrate proven principles, tips, tricks and techniques of high performance workflow management in Outlook 2003 or 2007 as well as within their physical workspace to create a more productive environment all-round.

In today’s fast moving world, we tend to believe that going faster is always better. This is obviously not true. While speed reading maybe very effective, “speed meditation” or “speed planning” simply doesn’t work. Our Slow Productivity programme enables you to slow down where appropriate in order to achieve better and more sustainable results.

We also know that balancing your work with the rest of your life is not easy, so after doing extensive research we have designed a simple yet effective approach to help you be more successful in all areas of your life.

If you prefer one of one productivity coaching as a personalised solution to meet your productivity and work/life balance needs, we’ll visit you at your desk to work with you (and your PA) to co-design and implement a customised system that suits your way of thinking, working and living.

Gerrit Cloete, founder of the Productivity Pit Stop, is a lazy, hardworking person – and probably a lot like you! Since 1991 he has been working hard to find ways to getting things done with less hassle while enjoying life a whole lot more. He has worked with the organisations of Stephen R Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People), David Allen (Getting Things Done), Jerry Fletcher (Patterns of High Performance) and Barbara Hemphill (Taming the Paper Tiger), and now shares his own understanding of what makes people more productive and happier with his many South African clients through time proven workshops and mentoring programmes.

Gerrit is the author of the forthcoming book “Slow Productivity”, which will help business people to work at enhanced levels of productivity by embracing the paradox of high performance – “slow down to speed up”!
