About QuietSpacing® and Paul H. Burton
Every day more and more distractions chip away at your ability to get things done.
Whether it’s the constant flow of information coming across your desk or the endless stream of cell phones ringing, emails pinging, or coworkers/clients hailing, your day is riddled with distractions.
Add to this all of your “internal noise,” that never-ending chatter occurring in your head about which fire you should put out next or how many balls you have in the air.
It’s overwhelming. It’s exhausting.
QuietSpacing® solves this problem by giving you back control over your day.

The methodology creates an environment of zen-like focus, cutting a clear path through all the noise and distractions and moving you steadily towards your goals.
You stay productive even in the midst of the daily chaos that surrounds you.
By implementing these proven techniques:
- You will find it easy to minimize disruptions and stay focused.
- You will be able to instantly re-prioritize tasks without breaking stride.
- You will maintain peak performance and begin to feel more successful.
Success Is a Feeling, Not a Result
When you begin to get more done each day, you begin to feel more successful. You enjoy a greater sense of satisfaction and a reduced level of stress. You have more time to do this things you choose to do.
Imagine going home every day knowing that everything is under control.
A Little Added Quiet Produces Big Returns
The numbers speak for themselves. If we increase our productivity by just six minutes per day
+ 6 minutes/day
that increase adds up to 24 hours
+24 hours/year
of additional productivity per year, or three days of work
+ 3 days of work
off our desk per year.
Imagine how much benefit you and your organization would receive if you had three more days of work off your desk right now? QuietSpacing® produces that result – guaranteed.
Who Needs QuietSpacing®
While almost anyone can benefit from QuietSpacing®’s groundbreaking methodology, our experience indicates the following list of busy professionals gain the most from these teachings:
- C-Suite or top-level executives
- Managing partners and other leaders in professional services firms
- Entrepreneurs who have moved beyond the start-up phase
- Individuals and organizations who are reaching for higher levels of success
For these people, increasing focus and productivity goes way beyond the workplace. They need a set of principles that puts them in command of their day. This is exactly what QuietSpacing® delivers.
QuietSpacing® Case Studies
Finally, An Updated Time Management System
My day is filled with a constant stream of e-mails, tasks, and project management responsibilities. I have spent over 50 hours studying books, articles, systems, blogs (and everything else under the sun) trying to master the complex art of e-mail and task management. I always felt that there must be an easier way to utilize Outlook, but each new system I tried left me initially excited but subsequently disappointed when I realized that the approaches were missing a key ingredient and didn’t align with the nature of my work…
Trapped in the Window Seat
Sean Murray
Earlier this month, while catching a flight home to Seattle from New York City after a long week on the road meeting with clients, I made it to my seat, sat down and breathed a huge sigh of relief. For a moment, it was bliss. I knew in a few hours I would be home to see my family. But then the slow, creeping realization set in that my e-mail in-box was overloaded with hundreds of e-mails I was unable to get to while on the road. Furthermore, I had five voicemails on my cell phone and probably more waiting for me on my office voicemail, which I had not yet checked that day. Although I was working hard all week, the work flowing through my in-box did not stop…
QuietSpacing® in Action
Christopher S. Tuttle
The other day I a received a very rewarding email. Chris Tuttle – friend, former client, and intellectual property attorney at Alleman Hall McCoy Russell & Tuttle – lobbed a completely unsolicited QuietSpacing® case study over the fence. I asked him if I could post it here to demonstrate how people actually use QuietSpacing® in their hectic day-to-day lives. He agreed! So, after confirming that the images displayed don’t disclose any sensitive information, here is what Chris had to say.

What Paul’s Clients Are Saying
Thank you for taking a moment to see what people are saying about QuietSpacing® and the related keynote presentations that I do.
