    Tried & True Steps to Being More Productive at Work

    1. First, construct a daily “To Do” list. This list determines what NEEDS to get done that specific day.
    2. Next, select the length of time spent on each item. YOU are the deciding factor. For example, if one of the things on your list is to develop an email to a potential client, you can decide how long you want it to take. Then, allocate that time on your “To Do” list.
    3. Now, schedule all “To Do” action items on your calendar for specific times throughout the day.
    4. Then, perform the task at that particular time for the amount of time allotted. Pro Tip: Set a timer. This action will keep you on track.
    5. Take control of distractions to set yourself up for success. Pro Tip: If an employee engages while accomplishing a “To Do” item, tell him or her that you are busy but will respond when free. Also, close out any social media, email, or other programs that send notifications.
