Introduction

• **Outline of the post: This article will be split into three different sections – Identify what you’re doing, Before you start working, and Visualize yourself working.

Section 1: Identify what you’re doing

This is important because it can lead to solving problems when you don’t know what to do next. If your workstation is cluttered with old files and unnecessary items, then you might be unable to find something quickly. You also have to remember that if your Workspace looks like a mess, others will draw that conclusion as well. Therefore it’s important to keep everything neat at all times.

Takeaway: Keep your workspace clean and organized in order to make it easier for yourself and others to find things they need quickly.

Section 2: Before you start working

Before starting a task at home or at the office, try writing down all of the necessary items before starting on anything else. This can give you a good idea of how much time a certain task will take (especially if there’s any unexpected delays) as well as how much time other people are taking away from their tasks due to the extra work that needs done during the process or because of things that must be done after completing tasks (such as printing). This can help save time later on by avoiding having other people do unnecessary work while they wait for something else (such as someone needing more materials or equipment). Remember that this should not be used every time; just whenever needed in order for everything to go smoothly throughout a project or job. Also remember not to use this method constantly because people will get frustrated with waiting too long for their turn, especially if they see others who have already finished their own tasks yet aren’t behind schedule themselves mid-way through the project yet still expect them to wait for them without having finished any of their own tasks first.

Takeaway: Write down everything

Identify what you’re doing.

Identifying what you’re doing is the first step to managing your time. If you don’t know where your time goes, how can you possibly manage it? Start by writing down the tasks that need to be done, then start working on them one at a time. If something takes longer than expected or gets stuck in the queue because of another task that needs more attention, move it up on your list of priorities until everything else has been completed.

Before you start working, write down your tasks on paper.

Before you start working, write down your tasks on paper.

This can be a very helpful way of organizing your day and dividing it up into manageable chunks. When you have a list of items that need to be done, it’s easier to break them up into smaller tasks, which will allow you to focus on one task at a time rather than try and juggle everything at once.

Use highlighters to mark key words and phrases throughout your day.

Highlighters are a great time-saving tool. They allow you to mark key words and phrases throughout your day, so that when you come back to them later in the day, they’re instantly recognizable. You can also use highlighters as a way of keeping track of important things like due dates or milestones that need to be met on projects.

Highlighting text works best when it’s something concrete (like a deadline date) rather than abstract (like “improve user experience”). That way if there is an error with one of these highlighted items, all other highlighter markings will still make sense since they’re still associated with their original source material.*

Visualize yourself working and in your ideal workspace, rather than the actual space you’re in.

• Visualize yourself working and in your Ideal Workspace, rather than the actual space you’re in.

• Write down on paper what you need to do, and stick to the order of the list. If you can’t think of everything at once, prioritize it so that what you start with is the most important.

• Plan ahead by breaking down each task into smaller chunks – this will help keep things organized and prevent distractions from popping up unexpectedly!

List all your responsibilities for the day on a dry-erase board.

• List all your responsibilities for the day on a dry-erase board.

• Highlight key words and phrases throughout your day.

• Visualize yourself working and in your ideal workspace, rather than the actual space you’re in.

Use project management apps to create checklists of both long-term and short-term goals.

• Using a project management app, you can create checklists of both long-term and short-term goals.

• This will help you achieve your short-term goals more efficiently, which in turn helps to make sure that the longer term ones get done as well.

Create an environment that aids productivity, but also makes work enjoyable.

• Have a place for everything and everything in its place. It’s important to have your office space organized so you can find anything at any time of day or night. This can be as simple as putting all of the items needed for a particular task in one place—or more complex by using labels and folders with color-coding so they’re easily identifiable when needed.

• Use technology to help keep track of things like deadlines and upcoming projects (and get rid of distractions).

Get a good chair or seating arrangement for your workspace that fits your needs and reduces back pain.

When you’re sitting in your chair all day, your body conforms to the shape of the seat. If you have bad posture and are slouching or leaning forward, it’s harder for your brain to focus on what needs to be done. You can avoid this by getting a good chair or seating arrangement for your workspace that fits your needs and reduces back pain.

If possible, try not to sit at a desk all day long—instead, alternate between standing up during meetings and sitting down when working on projects that require more concentration because they’re time-consuming tasks with lots of details involved (like writing an article).

Keep computer settings simple and try not to multitask too much.

• Create checklists.

• Create an environment that aids productivity, but also makes work enjoyable.

• Use highlighters to mark key words and phrases throughout your day.

• Visualize yourself working and in your ideal workspace, rather than the actual space you’re in

Simple rules can be applied to help make any workspace more productive.

• Make the most of your time by scheduling your tasks.

• Utilize the Pomodoro Technique to help you focus on a task for 25 minutes at a time.

• Plan ahead, so that you don’t have to scramble at the last minute.
