Create a Daily Plan

Plan Before Your Day Starts

Create a plan for your day. Do it in the morning or, even better, the night before.

The plan gives you a good overview of how the day will pan out, which will help you focus and stay on track.

Your job for the day is to stick to the plan as much as possible.

Time Boxing

Efficiency in a timely matter

Time boxing is the process of giving each task a certain window of time. This helps ensure that you don't spend too much time on one thing.

Time boxing will result in efficient use of time, which will help alleviate stress that results from having to meet deadlines.

Time boxing can prevent "perfectionist" problems. Giving yourself an appropriate time restriction will help you move on to the next important task..

Schedule the End of Your Day

Create an End-of-Day Routine

The last few hours of the work day can significantly improve your productivity - so it's important to have a routine that sets you up for success the next morning.

Don't let your work day fill up your entire evening by setting an optimal finishing time.

When nearing the end of your day, review your To-Do list and the next day's schedule to add anything that you did not complete today. Tidy up your work area and sort through your email in-box before you leave.

Do your best to tie up any loose ends so that you can truly disconnect when you walk out the door. Reflect on your best achievement and leave on a good note with your coworkers.
