LIMIT MEETING ATTENDANCE

LIMIT MEETING ATTENDANCE

The more attendees you invite to meetings, the longer the meetings last.

ONE THING AT A TIME

Dallen Peterson, founder of Merry Maids and author of Rags, Riches, & Real Success, believes that multitasking simply increases stress and impairs relationships.

TIMELY QUOTE

"Time management isn't about maximizing the number of items you can check off in a day or a lifetime. It's about living fully, productively, joyfully - by your own definition of those terms."
-Lesley Bolton, author of Fastread Time Management
 

DELEGATE

Enlist the aid of others to get the important things done. As Andrew Carnegie once said, "The secret of success lies not in doing your own work but in recognizing the right person to do it."

ORGANIZE YOUR DESK

Keep your desk clear except for the things you use on a daily basis such as stapler and paperclips. Items you use less frequently such as stamps, scissors and ruler should be readily accessible in a drawer.

KEEPING MEETINGS BRIEF

Jeff Davidson, in his book The 60 Second Organizer, suggests that participants stand when they speak. He claims this tends to limit the time they speak since most people prefer to stay seated.
