Quick Tips

If you can respond to an email in 2 minutes or less, tackle it now.
For each task on your to-do list, add its estimated completion time. This gives you a realistic view of everything on your plate for the day.
For large, time-consuming tasks, break them down into smaller sub-tasks and spread them out over the day or week.
When organizing your office, imagine a semi‐circle around you when you sit at your desk. Place the supplies you use most often inside this space so they will always be within reach when needed.
When someone gives you a business card, make notes on the back to jog your memory later. Notes might include when you met, what you discussed, potential relationship, etc.
When organizing your paper files, avoid labels like “miscellaneous” and “random.”  You’ll encounter difficulties finding them later.
Try setting time limits for tasks that easily eat away your day, like responding to email or checking Facebook.
Schedule a time/date to file and clean your files (weekly or bi-monthly).
It’s distracting hearing your phone buzz. Block off time to truly focus; shut the door, silence your phone, close your email.
Set rules in your email to automatically filter messages, saving you time and keeping your inbox organized.
