1> Keep your desk and your files organized to avoid wasting time shuffling through piles of paper.
2> Go through your inbox at the beginning of each work day. Either throw away, file or follow up on each item.
3> Prioritize a list of the tasks you need to accomplish that day.
4> Delegate tasks to co-workers and assistants if possible.
5> Finish one task before you go on to the next.
6> Have someone else answer your phone if possible. Give instructions about calls you wish to take and those that can be returned later.
7> Communicate effectively and plan carefully to make sure a job is done properly the first time around.
8> Schedule time when you'll be available, and let colleagues know, to avoid constant interruptions. Close the door if you need to.
9> Take breaks. A short walk or quick lunch away from the office will increase your overall productivity.
10> Before leaving for the day, tidy up your desk and make a short list of projects you will need to do the next day.
11> Try not to take work home. You need the break.
12> Determine when you have most energy in a day and tackle the most important or most difficult tasks at that time.
13> Recognize that certain days (usually Monday or Friday) are more hectic than others. Be realistic when scheduling those days.
14> Exercise and a healthy diet boost your energy level and increase your productivity.
15> If you get completely snowed under, hire an assistant from a temp agency to get you through the crunch
