8 tips to make work more productive.(BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT SKILLS)
Most of us wish we had a less stressful work environment. At the same time our employers want us to be more productive. The two goals seem to be at odds with each other, but they don't have to be. If you're looking for ways to get more done in less time (and who isn't?), here are some tips to help to increase your productivity.
Organize Your Desk
If organizing the entire desk is too large of a goal, break it down to be more manageable for you. For instance, limit yourself to only clearing off the papers from the top of the desk today, empty the top right drawer tomorrow, organize the second drawer the next day, etc. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing endeavor.
Limit the items on your desk top to 8-9 things at the most. Many offices and desks are filled with things that are not ever used. Meanwhile, time and energy are wasted looking for important things needed to effectively do your job. Depending on how much you have and how much space you have, follow these guidelines:
* Identify what you use on a daily basis and put those items within easy reach.
* Items used every other day can be placed in nearby drawers.
* Items used on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis may be best stored in a supply closet or some other type of long-term storage option.
