Make More Time In Your Day

You have a lot to do in one day and it’s easy to get over whelmed. Instead of getting frustrated that you didn’t get everything done, take a few moments to think about ways to make your day go better. How can you be more productive?
Here are some tips from the businessknowhow.com article, “Ten Tips to Help Create More Time in Your Day:”

1.Get Organized: Don’t waste time looking for papers, numbers or supplies. Keep your work area clean and functional.
2.Productive Time: What time of day are you the most alert? Do the most difficult tasks during this time.
3.“To Do” List: Make one the night before, so you can get started right away in the morning.
4.More Time: Need extra time? Try getting up an hour earlier to have your coffee and check emails.
5.Schedule It: Choose one task you will finish on each day of the week and stick with it.
6.Avoid “Day Wasters:” Limit the use of forums, television, surfing the web, talking on the phone, etc. These can be good tools, but they can waste a lot of time.
7.Household Chores: Keep your housework manageable by cleaning a little bit each day.
8.Double Duty: Try to multi-task whenever possible.
9.Say No: If you’re too busy with the work you’ve already taken on, don’t feel like you have to say “yes” to every additional task someone asks you to do.
10. Avoid Interruptions: Let the answering machine take calls when you’re busy and don’t spend all day checking email when you have other work to do.
