Getting Things Done: How Project Management Can Help You Win at Work and Life

Ever feel like you’re drowning in to-do lists, reminders, and mental clutter? Whether you’re planning a big work event, launching a new project, or just trying to get your family’s schedule under control, project management principles can be a total game-changer. And that’s exactly what Rachel Losser and her team at Losser Consulting Solutions do—they help people and businesses cut through the chaos and actually get stuff done.

At its core, project management is simple: WHAT needs to be done, and BY WHEN? But let’s be real—the bigger the project, the more complicated it gets. Deadlines pile up, small tasks get lost, and suddenly, everything feels overwhelming.

That’s where Losser Consulting Solutions steps in. Known as the “Get Shit Done” group, Rachel and her team help businesses streamline operations, pick the right tools, and actually see results across industries like marketing, IT, R&D, HR, finance, supply chain, and more.

Project Management Isn’t Just for Work—It Works at Home, Too

Rachel doesn’t just apply project management to work—she brings it into her personal life, too.

One of her favorite tools? A weekly “couples meeting” with her partner to keep things running smoothly at home.

Here’s how it works:

Assign ownership to tasks – Who’s taking care of what? (No more silent resentment!)
Quick updates – What’s already in motion, and what still needs attention?
Bigger topics – Upcoming commitments, finances, home projects—anything that needs a longer discussion.
The schedule for the week – Who’s picking up groceries? What appointments are coming up?
What’s on the horizon? – Vacations, family gatherings, big life decisions.

This isn’t just about being organized—it’s about getting all those swirling thoughts out of your head and onto paper (or a shared doc). When you have a plan, the mental load gets lighter.

How Losser Consulting Solutions Helps Businesses Cut Through the Noise

Losser Consulting Solutions isn’t about corporate jargon or unnecessary complexity. They’re about real solutions that actually make your work life easier. Here’s what they do:

Picking the Right Project Management Software

So many tools, so little time. If you’re overwhelmed by options, Rachel’s team helps you figure out what works best for your business and tech setup. No more wasted time testing software that doesn’t fit.

Software Setup & Training

Getting the right tool is one thing—making sure your team actually uses it is another. Losser Consulting Solutions helps businesses set up project management tools, train teams, and even automate repetitive tasks. (Still using Excel for everything? It might be time for an intervention.)

Setting Up a Project Management Office (PMO)

If your company needs a more structured approach to managing projects, Rachel’s team helps put those systems in place, so everything runs smoother.

Traditional Project Management Support

Need an expert to step in and manage projects for you? They can provide full-time or part-time project managers who know their way around agile, waterfall, and hybrid methodologies.

Managing Business Transformations

Big changes—like restructuring, launching new products, or scaling a company—can be a mess without a solid plan. Losser Consulting Solutions helps businesses break down big transformations into clear, manageable steps and leads the way to success.

Action Trackers: Making Life Easier at Work and Home

One of Rachel’s favorite tools is the action tracker—a simple way to keep track of what needs to get done, who’s responsible for it, and when it’s due. Keep in mind that an action tracker might be a little overwhelming at first.

Pro Tip From Rachel: Brain dump all the tasks floating around in your head first and then fill in the rest as you go.

Here's how an Action Tracker can help in both work and personal life:

Example 1: Corporate Event Planning

Planning a big corporate event? Without a system, things can get chaotic fast. An action tracker keeps everything organized—who’s booking the venue, securing speakers, running marketing, and handling logistics—so nothing falls through the cracks. Rachel and the team at Losser created this free template to help you get organized. Download it below.

Example 2: Vacation Planning

On the personal side, think about planning a vacation. Instead of keeping all the details in your head, an action tracker can help manage flights, hotels, activities, and even budgeting. It’s the difference between a stress-free trip and last-minute chaos. Rachel and her team created this template, which is also a free download which you can get below.

Bringing It All Together

Whether you're running a business or managing your household, applying project management principles can bring order to the madness. Losser Consulting Solutions helps businesses cut through the noise and actually get things done—but these strategies work just as well in your personal life, too.

So, what’s overwhelming you right now? A big work project? A home renovation? A packed schedule? Whatever it is, defining the WHAT and BY WHEN, assigning clear ownership, and tracking progress can make it all feel a lot more manageable.
