Six Ways to look at your work load

Here are the few tips that can keep you on top of your work:

Take only as much work as you can do: If you always have lots of work to do it could mean that you may be inefficient or really overworked.

Priority is the key here. Before taking any new assignment, doing a favour to colleague, volunteering any activity or task think about the other priorities you have at the work.

Coping with meetings: Don't be a 'meeting-man'. All the meetings all the time are not necessary to attend. You may have to attend several meetings a day but decide which all are really important to attend and which all can be managed by just going through the 'minutes of meeting'.

Follow your To-Do list: I am sure we all make to do list on the day before or at the start of the day. But the important part is to follow that.

Analyze/update your To-Do list regularly to look it fresh (you sure can include time for gossiping and coffee :-)).

Quality Focus time: You must have noticed a sharp increase in your efficiency during some specific time like just before a project deadline or when you want to leave early for the day (when you look less at twitter or facebook). Use that level of focus and efficiency quite consistently.

Keep a check on E-mail checking frequency: We generally spend much more time in checking e-mail than it requires. Most of the time we don't need to read and respond those immediately. Instead we can fix some specific time to check e-mails.

Delegate: t has been said that delegation is an art. You can save much of your valuable time by delegating the right kind of work to your colleagues or juniors.

I am sure the above mentioned tips can sure help us to organize the work and time balance, which will increase our productivity. Please share your own productivity tips that have helped you in the past and keep your feedback coming!!!
