Time Management

I recently ran across this New York Times article in which the writer visited Google’s headquarters. What struck him was the number of monitors on each developer's desk--two or more per user. One of the main reasons I recommend two monitors is that it saves time and boosts productivity.

Oftentimes I hear from our clients that there are so many things to do and so little time to do them. One of the things I find very helpful is to use a timer to set a specific amount of time to complete a task. It can be very effective in teaching you how to be more productive.

When opening presents during birthday parties, wedding or baby showers, and the holidays, use small mailing labels to jot down the name of the giver and stick it on the gift so you can track who gave what. Being able to quickly identify the giver's name will help you organize all your thank you notes!
