Start Right Away

Don't lose 30 to 90 minutes of your day

The average knowledge worker arrives at his or her desk and immediately begins wasting time - getting a coffee, checking social media or reading the news to "get into work mode."

Only then do they check their email and check notes from the day before, and start to think about what they're going to do that day.

The better option is to get to your workstation quickly and knock out your most important task right away. That way when most people are just beginning their days, you'll have already completed an important part of yours.

Know The Time

A Clock Helps Keep Track of Time

Sometimes we are so engrossed in our work that we lose track of time. Having a watch or clock in front of you will keep you aware of the time at the moment.

Make a point of checking the time throughout the day. Regular check-ins will make it less likely that time will slip by unnoticed.

Balance Your Projects

Work can get busy; make sure you can balance the load.

How busy you are at work can fluctuate a lot from job to job and week to week.

When you get overworked you need to find a balance between the projects on your plate by prioritizing.

It is different in every case, but make sure to weigh the pros and cons of one project being completed or not completed compared to the others.
