This list seems to go on FOREVER! Still, I have found worthy information in each section... so I am sharing away. I would love to know if you've tried any of these tips and how well they work for you. Also, please feel free to add any of your own in the comments.
This week:
Workday Strategies
There may not feel like there's enough time in the day, but you can maximize your work time if you work smarter, not harder. Check out these 10 blogs for tips on increasing productivity during the workday.
- Only check your e-mail twice a day so that you can focus on your work without constantly being distracted. For this tip and five other time savers check out Shine.
- Categorize your e-mails so that you know what needs to be done with them, as recommended by Articulate.
- Determine when you are at your best during the day and plan to do your hardest tasks during that time says Fresh-Insights.
- Ignore distractions at work that aren't helping you get your job done, like social media and coffee chat, say the writers at People HR.
- Don't forget to use your voicemail and your 'out of office' reply to let you get your work done instead of answering a ton of calls suggests Kingsbridge Professional Solutions.
- Look at what you've accomplished during the week and see what's left on your To Do list on Friday to stay on top of things, suggests Biz Best.
- If you own a small business, make sure that you use a smart phone to your advantage so that you can be working on the go. This can save you up to six hours a week, says Small Business Trends.
- Save travel time by video conferencing instead of meeting in person, as suggested on the info graphic shown on Visual.ly.
