        5 tips to start making your        life easier...NOW!

1. DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH.

Before you start a project or new direction, ask yourself what your goals are. If you don't know where you're going, it’s very difficult to get there! Set small goals and reward yourself whenever you have a success.

2.WORK ON LIKE ACTIVITIES AT THE SAME TIME.

Save time and increase the odds of getting more done by making all of your outgoing telephone calls in one group, running all your errands at one time, and grouping other similar activities to complete together.

3. MAKE YOUR DESK A FRIEND.

Improve your ability to focus on tasks that need your immediate attention by uncluttering your desktop. Only keep items on your desk that are necessary for your current projects. Not only will you minimize unnecessary distractions, you’ll look and feel more organized and in control of your day.

4. ESTABLISH WORK DEADLINES FOR YOURSELF.

Give yourself time limits on working late or on weekends. Whether it’s two or four hours, do your best, then stop! Spend the rest of the weekend or evening enjoying yourself.

5. PUT THINGS BACK WHERE THEY BELONG.

Reduce your stress and increase your personal results by taking time to return things to their proper place. Whether it’s files or a stapler, a checkbook or equipment, decide whether you’ll put things back immediately after you're finished with them or set up an appointment with yourself to do it at the end of each day.
