|
 | Invest in a dozen of your favorite, inexpensive
pens and a small cutlery tray to avoid constantly searching for pens.
Keep the tray, filled with pens, in a drawer near the phone.
|
| Make your work day afternoon more productive by
leaving the office during lunch time. Energize yourself by
breathing some fresh air, taking a walk or closing your eyes for a few
minutes.
|
| Clear your desk top of all personal mementos.
Hang them on the walls, place them on shelves, but give yourself space
to work at your desk, without distractions.
|
| Schedule appointments and meetings with both
beginning and ending times. People are more
"to-the-point" when they are up against a deadline.
|
| Complete a phone call, then write down your next
action relating
to the call. Do you need to make another call or mail something?
If you can't do it now, write it down.
|
| Simplify a big project by writing
down everything. Then, put the
tasks in order. Next, set up a
time line. Finally, delegate as much as possible.
|
| Reduce interruptions at work by moving your desk so
you can't see the door. Passers-by will not be able to catch
your eye as they walk by, thus avoiding unnecessary conversation.
