DISCARD FIRST, THEN ORGANIZE

DISCARD FIRST, THEN ORGANIZE

 

Emile Barnes, in her book, The 15-Minute Organizer (Harvest House, 1991) tells the story of a woman who, over a five week period, had organized her home into 62 cardboard cartons. The woman admitted she was a packrat but that at least she was an organized one!

 

BEWARE OF DOING TWO THINGS AT ONCE

 

When people multitask, productivity goes down and the rate at which they do the task goes down.

 

WHAT TO DELEGATE

 

For greatest impact, start with the jobs that require little training, consume the biggest chunks of time, and recur frequently.

 

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

 

Insist on getting a profitable return on your invested time. If there will be a limited return, limit your time.

 

LEAVING A VOICE MAIL MESSAGE

 

Respect other people's time as well. When leaving messages, speak slowly, clearly, and repeat your name and phone number. Spell your name if it's unusual or difficult to pronounce.
