There
are many excellent reasons to get organized, but the best one I know is
that human brains have not had any major structural change for about
50,000 years.
The
three brain modes are visual (seeing), auditory (hearing), and kinetic
(feeling, doing) learners. There are significant differences in how you
need to organize your office and how to process information based on
the way your brain actually works.
On
this page you'll find links to the online assessments which will help you
learn How to Do Space Age Work with a Stone Age Brain™.
The
first three are the free "tests" I ask readers of my book to take before applying my organizing
tips. Each one takes about 15 minutes to complete and provides instant
results with feedback.
The second two Inscape instruments
are not free, but are worth far more than their price in terms of value
to those looking to find a mirror about their behavior styles and use
of time.

DiSC Classic®
The
foundation of personal and professional success lies in understanding
yourself, understanding others, and realizing the impact of personal
behavior on others. For nearly thirty years, the DiSC® Classic has
unlocked the door to productive communication and relationships for
nearly 40 million people through its DiSC® Dimensions of Behavior
learning approach.
Learning
DiSC® Dimensions of Behavior provides a nonjudgmental language for
exploring behavioral issues. It helps people explore behavior across
four primary dimensions:
- Dominance
- influence
- Steadiness
- Conscientiousness
DiSC®
Classic is a multi-level learning instrument that helps individuals
assess to what degree they utilize each Dimension of Behavior in a
situation. The instrument then provides feedback designed to help
people in your organization:
- Build productive teams
- Develop effective managers
- Train a powerful sales force
- Improve customer service
- Ease frustration and conflict

Time Mastery®
Setting
priorities and managing time effectively is basic to managing
individual and organizational performance. The pressure to find
innovative ways to achieve goals, pay attention to the competition,
respond quickly to customer needs, and enjoy life outside of work is
even more intense in today's less structured, information-driven
workplace. Meeting the daily challenge of managing professional and
personal responsibilities requires a learning strategy designed to meet
individual needs.
The
Time Mastery Profile® is a unique tool that provides people with a
complete, self-directed assessment of their current time management
effectiveness. Learners then use the built-in workbook as a framework
to develop customized strategies for skills improvement in twelve key
areas:
- Attitudes
- Goals
- Priorities
- Analyzing
- Planning
- Scheduling
- Interruptions
- Meetings
- Correspondence
- Delegation
- Procrastination
- Time Teamwork
