Overcome overload and work smarter
Workplace-performance expert Jason Womack suggests the following about the essential good habits you can create in 2012 to make it a productive year:
Purge and unsubscribe: Start 2012 by deleting and recycling to make room for the "new" of the new year. Too many people let a backlog (paper and digital information) pile up over the last six weeks of the year.
Block out your time and prioritize: Look at your day and figure out where you have blocks of time to really focus and engage on what needs to be done.
Change how you manage e-mail: Rather than simply flag emails that require action, use the subject lines to catalog and organize them.
Take technology shortcuts. Practically every kind of email software has tricks and shortcuts that once implemented could save you a lot of time. Sit down with those who can teach you more about these systems.
