subject: Make Yourself A Little Organize, It Helps! [print this page] Organization and time management go hand in hand.
Many people waste their time looking for documents, messages, or other information necessary to complete tasks in a timely manner. As much as possible we want to avoid delays to have a better output of our tasks. However, there are really times that we get our things scrambled and messy due to deadlines that were given to us.
This scenario can be very awful if you are not prepared and disorganize with your things. With that, let me give you some tips that will help you with your organization and time management.
First, arrange your workspace in a way that promotes organization. That is, have a place for everything, and put everything in its place. If you do not have a specific location for telephone messages, it is not surprising that you might spend time looking for a telephone message or even misplace one. Additionally, put the items that are most used closest to you. If you use a reference book (such as a dictionary or a computer programming language reference book) frequently, putting that book across the room wastes time. You want to minimize the amount of time you spend getting up from your desk retrieving or looking for items.
A second suggestion for staying organized is to spend a little time each day organizing your work-space. Discard paper and electronic documents that are no longer needed, file documents that will be needed at a later time, and write a to do list for tasks that must be accomplished that day or the next day.
A third suggestion it to use a calendar or day planner to stay organized; this will help you to remember important dates and deadlines. Without a calendar in which such dates are noted, some tasks or meetings may be forgotten; instead of planning the time you need to do certain tasks, you may have to drop everything to accomplish a task that must be done for a meeting that you forgot was later that day.
No worries on to where to avail this important stuff, you can buy the Starbucks 2011 planner if you love making yourself indulged in coffee brews and scents (they are famous for having this promo yearly anyway) or if this will not fit your busy schedule, you can just have it in many bookstores out there, Im sure National Bookstore will give you a lot of options.
This suggestion fits nicely with the recommendation to spend a little time each day organizing your workspace. If part of your organization effort includes documenting any important dates and times and reviewing events on a calendar scheduled for the following days, this can aid time management. Organization is not just in the peak of our imagination folks!
