Tip #588: Four Ways to Get More Done

Dale Carnegie said, "If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done."

At times, it feels nearly impossible to get everything done!  We all share one common limiter-the fact that there are only 24 hours in a day.  Here are four tips to help you make the most of them.

Schedule Time - Being more productive boils down to this-if you don't block time off to tackle tasks, someone else will take that time.  If your boss or co-worker passes by your workspace and sees that you are free, he or she may stop and launch into a long conversation.  If they look at your calendar and spot your available time, they are more likely to schedule a meeting during your only un-scheduled time.  By blocking off specific time during each work day to get things done, you are taking the time you need before else does. 

Block Distractions - Once the scheduled time has arrived to get things done, there are additional barriers to productivity which must be blocked. Phone calls; instant messenger, email, social media and other notifications; background office noise and other sources of interruptions can rob you of precious productivity.
