Often it is the organization of working time that determines the productivity of your work. If you do not have time, maybe the problem is not that you are working slowly, but that you are not setting priorities correctly.
Principles of organizing working hours
First of all, the correct organization of time is the ability to distinguish urgent cases from non-urgent and important from unimportant. It is based on these four criteria and it is necessary to build a working day. The most optimal option is this:
- First of all, you need to fulfill all urgent and important matters, something that does not wait on time.
- In the second turn, put all the things that are urgent, but not important. Even though in the importance hierarchy they are in a low position, if you classified them as urgent, then you need to get even with them as quickly as possible.
- On the third place - important, but not urgent matters. They should not be left at the very end of the working day, as at this time, as a rule, attention is already weakened, and the likelihood of making a mistake is high.
- In the last, fourth place - unimportant and non-urgent cases. Typically, they include various kinds of applied work: to disassemble the papers, to decompose folders, etc. They can be done at the end of the working day, when there is no energy left for work.
By the way, the organization of personal time can fully build on the same principles - so you will always manage all the urgent and do not get stuck on the little things.
Organization of space
The organization of time and space is an important factor in effective work. Before you start working day, ensure yourself free space and availability of all the documents and items of the office you need for work. You will save on time, if you do not spend it on finding the right items for the day. It is much more effective to give these questions 5 minutes at the beginning of the day.
