You can be a leader in your career field if you can organize your time and your office. I have walked into offices where papers are scattered all over the place and everything has been in dis-array.
My first suggestion is a good nights sleep. That is important so that you are alert at work and it makes you more productive. I also recommend that when you leave your work place for the day that you don’t think about it and find some time to relax at home. Thinking about the next day is something you shouldn’t do until that day arrives.
Now you need to go to your office and organize every thing. You can do a little each day until you have accomplished this task. Your work will go much faster and be less frustrating if you take the time to do this.
File things in folders and keep them in order. If you are working on one folder let that be the only one you work on until you are finished and then proceed to the next one.
Have the things you use most often the closet to you so you will not need to do extra running around to get the item you need.
Make a list of the top 5 things you need to do that day and do them. When you are done make a list of the next 5 and so on. If you list everything at once it will be overwhelming and you will not do your best work. You will also feel more rushed that way. Just take 5 at a time and you will see it will go more smoothly.
If something comes up in between that requires your immediate attention then stop and get it done.
I also feel it is a good idea to take a break every now and then. Whether it be just getting up and walking around the office for a few minutes or closing and resting your eyes, it will refresh you.
When it is lunch time do not take lunch at your desk. At least go outside and have your lunch or you will be interrupted by phone calls and such. Taking a short walk is good also.
For those that sit at a desk all the time you NEED those breaks and you will find that they do refresh you and you will be more productive.
If you are in a position to do so have some music playing softly in the background this creates a much more relaxed environment for you and it will soothe you.
I hope some of these suggestions will help. They are also ones that you can put in to practice in your home life as well. You need organization there too which means more time to relax at home.
