In the past week, we’ve been talking about
stress management. A great preventative strategy for stress is to buff up on
our organizational skills. Here are a few tips…
Stop hoarding! Before keeping that piece of paper or computer
file, ask yourself if you really need it? If you need to act on the
information contained in the document? And if you needed the information
again, how easy would it be to get?Depending on the results, keep it, toss it or file it.
Fill out your To-Do list! Over your morning coffee, have a
fresh printed sheet on your desk and list the projects or tasks you’ll be
working on in order of importance.
Avoid wasting your time! When leading meetings, prepare an
agenda before hand. Slot a set number of minutes to each topic on the
agenda and stick to it. If your agenda gets too long. Divide it in half of
sections and keep the next agenda for the next meeting.
Break it down! Huge projects need to be broken down into
smaller pieces. Finish a set number of small pieces per day depending on
the timeline and then move onto something else. Big projects have a
tendency to leave other projects in the dark. Breaking it down allows for
balance.
