It's here! The excitement has reached its peak and years of planning have come to fruition. We are on the brink of experiencing a time like no time before and everyone is feeling it. But you still have to go to work. How will you manage?
- Plan each day. Write a to-do list, putting the most important tasks at the top Delegate. Take a look at your to-do list and consider what you can pass on to someone else or eliminate altogether.
- Take the time you need to do a quality job. Doing work right the first time may take more time upfront, but errors usually result in time spent making corrections, which takes more time overall.
- Say no to non-essential tasks. Consider your goals and schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.
- Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks. Work on them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.
Practice the 10-minute rule. Work on a dreaded task for 10 minutes each day. Once you get started, you may find you can finish it. - Get plenty of sleep and exercise. Improved focus and concentration will help improve your efficiency so that you can complete your work in less time.
- Take a break when you need one. Too much stress can derail your attempts at getting organized. When you need a break, take one. Watch a game. Do some quick stretches at your workstation.
- Drink in moderation. Don't use this once-in-a-lifetime event to lead into recklessness. In addition to the dangers of binge drinking and the devastation of a hangover, you don't want your memories to be a blur.
- Be patient. It's likely that some of your projects will be delayed, especially those that involve many role players. Be patient, remember the context and plan for delays.
Good!
