E94 Learning Productivity Hacks for Project Managers with Nigel Creaser
Efficiency, what does that mean to you? Since COVID, our jobs have been impacted with efficiency and prioritization. “As a Project Manager or any manager for that matter, we rarely leave the office with everything finished. There is always a list of things that you did not get to or an email you saw pop in just as you shut down the computer.” -Nigel Creaser.
Joe and Nigel discuss how to become more productive and efficient at the office from Nigel’s book Project Manager Productivity Hacks.
Nigel Creaser is the host of The Sunday Lunch Project Podcast where he conducts in-depth interviews with leading project professionals from around the world, working out what makes project managers tick.
“From my past shows on my podcast we’ve had talks about the different strengths you’ve got and how you can see why people who have certain strengths are asked to do something that is against their what they are comfortable with.”- Nigel Creaser. This puts us in to perspective that we all can learn by stepping outside of our boundaries and push ourselves.
Nigel Creaser is a Project and Program Manager with over 20 years of experience leading change for public and private organizations across a vast array of sectors and technologies. While publishing several books on Project Management and Amazon Alexa.

The Sunday Lunch Project is a book that has yet to be written, but the name took on a life of it’s own, becoming the podcast and Nigel Creasers alter ego.
From a project management podcast cast to some books poking fun out of the profession to music to eat our Christmas dinner to, where it will go next is anybody’s guess.
Nigel Creaser, PMP aka The Sunday Lunch Project Manager, is Project and Programme Manager with over 20 years of experience leading change for public and private organisations across a vast array of sectors and technologies.
He is a former Director of Marketing at the PMI UK Chapter and a judge in the 2021 Project Management awards.
In addition to his day job, he is the host of The Sunday Lunch Project Podcast where he conducts in-depth interviews with leading project professionals from around the world, working out what makes project managers tick.
Alongside that he has published a number of books on Project Management and Amazon Alexa, his latest being Project Manager Productivity Hacks, released in November 2021. He has also published his first, and possibly the only original Project Management music.
Residing in rural Shropshire in the United Kingdom with his beautiful wife and daughters, in his spare time he can be found trying not to be thrown on the judo mat or trying to run a little bit faster and a little bit further along the Montgomery Canal, or trying to make a guitar not sound like a strangled cat.
ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE HOURS SERIES
Project Management Office Hours is intended to provide Project Management professionals a place to drop in and discuss Success Stories, Best Practices, and Lessons Learned. Project Management Consultant Joy Gumz has shared with us, “Operations keep the lights on, strategy provides the light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organization forward.”
Each of us has a unique story to tell, but collectively we share a message that organizations who embrace Project Management Best Practices perform better than those which don’t. Organizations which align Projects to Strategy perform better. Organizations with Engage Executive Sponsors deliver better results. Organizations which measure Project Management performance outperform those which don’t.
During our Project Management Office Hours, we hear directly from Industry leaders how to make an impact in our profession. How we, collectively, will Advance Project Management Best Practices, One Listener at a time!
