Lori Vande Krol is Your Productivity Partner, helping you be more productive so you have time for what matters most.
Creator of the ProAction Planner™
A unique planning and scheduling tool for the busy professional to tackle overwhelm, gain control, and reach your goals.

Reach your goals.
Being productive is more than being organized and getting things done. It is living the life you want to live, focusing on what matters, and spending time with who matters. I work with you to help you gain a clear understanding of your vision and goals. I then help you develop a plan to reach those goals by managing your time and resources in the most effective way.
Maximize your work time.
With the right systems, you will stop wasting valuable time, energy, and money. You will learn to manage your time to reduce overwhelm, gain perspective, and lower stress. You will end your day feeling in control and accomplished.
You deserve more time, more focus, and more energy for what matters most.
Eliminate the clutter.
You understand the importance of eliminating clutter — wasted time, resources, and money. But how much clutter still exists within your business and life? Who can you say “no” to? What can be automated? What can you clear from your desk, inbox, or mind to make space for what’s really important? I help you find the right tools, systems, and processes to streamline your workday, gain perspective and control, and make room for growth.
You can do it and I can help.
I partner with smart, motivated professionals who understand the value and importance of an environment that allows for optimal focus and production — so you can get things done and enjoy life. I listen, problem solve, and approach your challenges with understanding and energy. I confidentially assist you and your business onsite and virtually. Give me a call to learn more about a solution tailored to your specific needs.
