Prioritize Your Goals
Be sure your goals are attainable, realistic and inspiring. Rank them in order of importance. Take on your most important goals first before others less important. Tackle all down the line in their order of importance.
Adopt an Online Calendar
Try using Google Calendar which appears to be the most popular online calendar. You can use it by having it linked to your Smartphone or any other devices you use to access the internet. A proper use of online calendar helps to get organized and effectively scheduled even on the go.
Draw up a List of Priorities Daily
It only takes a few minutes at the beginning of each day to get this done. You can make a priority list at the beginning of your business day then consciously adhere to the list in tackling your daily tasks. Sticking with this list helps to avoid distractions thereby saving valuable time.
Focus First on Your Most Important Goals
It is easy to work through your list if you already know which priorities are the most important. With that information, you can tackle your top priority first and your lowest priority last. You get better results that way.
Tidy up Daily when You Close
This is fairly obvious. The tidier you are, the more organized you become. Habitually tidy up before you go home each day. This is because when your work environment is in a mess, your mind will be too.
Tag Assignments for Easy Reference/Referrals
At the end of your business day, you can set aside a few minutes to tag your files and worksheets for easy reference and referrals to subordinates. You then arrange to forward information to coworkers as necessary either through e-mail or voicemail messages. The rest you can file away for keeps or for quick reference for your appointments the next day.
