Working in government comes with its own unique set of challenges. Public servants are often expected to do much more than what's in their job description, and it's easy to lose focus when urgent tasks pile up.
This short, practical course is designed to help you work more effectively in the realities of public service. You’ll identify your personal productivity patterns, become aware of your distractions and explore research-backed strategies to build helpful habits, reduce procrastination and stay focused on the work that matters most.
For UK Civil Servants, this course is available to book via the UK Government Campus as cohort-based learning. Learn more or email us at governmentcampus@apolitical.co.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Describe your personal productivity style and ways to complement it
Outline strategies that will help you identify which tasks deserve your attention
Explain how to foster helpful habits that lead to better behaviours
Implement methods to stay focused on your work and beat procrastination
Discuss how AI tools can support more efficient working — if used responsibly
