1) Get Organised – schedule regular times during your working week to get everything in order. Don’t do bits of admin dotted throughout the day or at the end of the day this will all you feel like has got done.
Set up a simple desk file system to departmentalise your admin and file it away as it comes in. Then in your scheduled time get it done in one go. This is a much more efficient use of time.
2) Again on scheduling – for old fashioned correspondence now you see hundreds of emails popping in and interrupting you all day.
Set up your email so that you have to click to receive it. This way when you have the time to devote get all your email and reply to them and file them away again. Fire fighting emails is one of the worst uses of time.
