Work Habits
To get more things done requires good working habits. It is
possible to gain as much as an hour a day for concentrating, through the
efficient use of time. Here are a few suggestions gathered from the
writings of a number of experts.
- Keep your desk free of old material.
- Act on each item as it crosses your desk. If postponement is indicated, do so definitely.
- Be businesslike with visitors who may tend to linger.
- Separate the "urgent" from the "important" and do the
"important" during your most productive hours. Daily mail is urgent —
long term planning is important.
- Get help from others either by conference or by assignment.
- Decide trifles quickly.
- Stick your neck out. Fear of mistakes keeps many people from accomplishment.
- Do not attempt too much in any one day.
- Make time for getting big tasks done every day.
- Never try to get all the little jobs out of the way before you start a big one.
- If you can't find a solution to a problem, don't continue to waste time on it. Drop it, come back to it later.
- Delegate anything that someone else can do well enough.
- Plan what others will have to do when you're away.
