Organisation
-
Keep a ‘things to do’ list, and add all new tasks to it
- Review your ‘things to do’ list at set points in the day, every day (such as first thing, lunchtime, and last thing) to check that you are on task.
- Set aside particular times a day for emails and phone calls so that they are not constantly interrupting you. This has been shown to increase productivity.
- Use color-coded organisation systems to prompt memory and sustain interest.
