In order to accomplish something significant during your
day try these 7 tips. 1. Look at your schedule for tomorrow -- meetings, etc.,
and note your available or "free" time (non-scheduled)
time. 2. Think about your priorities for tomorrow -- Is there a
project you've been meaning to complete or a pile of
paperwork to sort through or a proposal that you need
to write? Make a list of those priorities. 3. Schedule time blocks in your day. Do like activities
together. Return phone calls together. Check and
respond to e-mails only at two or three specific times
during the day. Run all errands during one trip out of
the office. 4. Plan for tomorrow at the end of today's work day. You
will know your schedule and your priorities, and your
to-dos are fresh in your mind. 5. Schedule loosely. Leave yourself enough free time to
deal with interruptions and emergencies. 6. Make an appointment with yourself for at least 30
minutes each day. Close your door. Work on whatever
must be done. 7. Plan on spending ...
... five minutes on something you have
been procrastinating. The most difficult step of any task
you've been putting off is the first step. Generally, once
you start, you will not stop after only five minutes. Barbara Collins-Myers is a professional organizer and author.
