TRAINING TIPS
Time Management
- Create a list of your workload responsibilities - First thing in the morning take 10 to 15 minutes for yourself. Close your door or find a quiet area. Create/review a "To Do's" list of items, issues, and projects you have responsibility for. Once you have the list created, prioritize the different items 1-3. Number 1 is the most important, and number 3 not as important as 1 or 2. Carry this list with you or you can utilize Microsoft Outlook . As you complete an item, cross it off the list.
- How to Prioritize the List - If someone comes to you with a request, it goes high on the list. It takes effort to get up and visit face to face. That shows the subject is very important to the requester. A phone call takes more effort than an email or a text. If the BOSS asks in any method, it goes to the top of the list.
- Set up Deadlines - be realistic and meet them.
- Avoid Procrastination - knock those number 1's off first.
- Delegate, Delegate, Delegate!
- Avoid Stress
- Avoid Multitasking - Focus on one thing at a time to ensure it is completed correctly.
- Learn to say NO! - Check your "To Do's" list to see if you have room and time
