Wanna know how to make tomorrow better than today?

Posted by josh in Time Management, Work, Organizing Tips

I thought you might.

I mean seriously, who wouldn’t?

And it’s not that hard….

Doesn’t involve counting calories or avoiding chocolate.

You ready?

  • At the end of your workday (yes, even if your workday ends at 11 pm), prepare for tomorrow. Spend 10 to 15 minutes  writing down your plan for the next day.
  • Write this list in a notebook, not just wayward scraps of paper.  This way you can keep a tally of items you manage to complete (or don’t as the case may be);
  • Make list of the e-mails you need to send and the phone calls you need to make;
  • Create a simple filing system that relates to your activities of daily living.  Obviously this will be different for each individual as we all do different things each day.

Keep it Neat!

How To Turn 5 Minutes in to An Hour

Posted by josh in Time Management

No, you don’t need to invented a time machine or slow the world down.

All you need to do is organize your time a little better each and every day

If you make a dozen phone calls each day and can manage to save 5 minutes on each call, you’ve just found a full extra hour to spend on something else you enjoy, like shopping!

More proof that a little can go a long, long way.

How does the expression go?

Big Things Come In Small Packages

Want to see a perfect example of this in action?

Consider this situation:

When making small changes, don’t overlook the multiplication factor… 5 minutes shaved off weekly meetings of 10 people earning $30 per hour would amount to a savings of $62,590/year- Harold Taylor
