Ten Timebuster Tips

I found this in a shoe box while going through photographs. The source is from a Day-Timer Personal Organizer pamplet. It's a great list! I hope it helps you. 1. List everything you need to do today--then number each item in order of priority. 2. Distinguish between "urgent"and "important" items-- and make time for the latter. 3. Don't just dream your goals--plan them. Write down the steps to each goal, and get started on step 1. 4. Make a quick decision on each piece of paper that crosses your desk: act on it, file it, or toss it. Prevent paper pile-ups! 5. Set a starting time as well as a deadline for all your projects. 6. Treat a big project like a pie; cut it up into slices! 7. Take 10 minutes a day to plan your day, and save up to an hour in execution! 8. When you're swamped with work, don't be afraid to say "no" to new projects. 9. If you run out of steam on one project, switch to another. A great revitalizer! 10. Trim the fat from your schedule: cut out low-payoff activities.
