7 Tips for smart work

1.Use a Note Book

Procrastination paralyses many people. Getting started is the hardest part of many tasks. You need to understand that there are no easy fixes for this – you just have to exercise some real will power and get on with it. But you can help yourself by scheduling a task in you note book or diary and sticking to it.

2.Take care of Time

Keeping a diary sounds easy, but using it properly is harder. This means not just writing down records of meetings and appointments, but also notes that remind you to block out time for yourself and time for tasks. You can also record deadlines, a list of phone calls to make and correspondence to send. This ensures that your diary is a powerful tool for prioritizing each day and getting things done. Then all you have to do is stick to it.

3.Make a To Do List

your to do list is you best friend. Whether you use an electronic organizer or just a notebook, list everything you need to get done. If these tasks involve phone calls, write down the numbers. Then develop a system for prioritizing these tasks and take this list with you everywhere you go.

4.Organise you Papers

If you can’t find what you need more or less instantly, it’s too well hidden. Organise papers, files and so on. It doesn’t have to look neat or follow a particular system. The essential test is that if you had to give someone instructions to find something over the phone, would you be able to tell them exactly where it is?

5.Learn to Say No

People interrupt, changes deadlines and take up your time, so you need to handle them effectively, or they will steal you time in a multitude of ways. Be ruthless, but nice. Tell them you’re too busy. Tell them you can’t. Tell them you’ll get back to them. Say ‘NO’ to them – but nicely.

6.Plan your calls

Use the phone as a tool, not an enemy. Make your outgoing calls in blocks. That way, you can plan time to do them and you’ll probably keep conversations shorter. Incoming calls don’t have to be answered. You can let the call go to an answering machine which gives you the option to return the call immediately if it’s urgent, or to add the return call to your to do list if not.

7.Attend only Important Meetings

Meeings drain your time and energy if you’re not careful. Only attend meetings you really need to be at, and politely decline others.
