Prioritize Tasks
Work keeps piling up.
It seems that there is no end to the mails coming in to your inbox. Your “In” tray keeps getting filled with files that need your attention. The phone lights keep blinking with calls on hold, calls coming in and voice messages being left.
You need a system to handle all these tasks and one of the simplest is to prioritize tasks in order of urgency or in order of importance.
Create a system which organizes tasks and assigns a priority to them. You can follow different rules for different assignments, for example replying to e-mails, answering phone calls. The discipline is to stick to the rules you set and follow the priorities.
It will soon become evident that setting priorities will help lessen your load. You will develop a habit of automatically handling the important assignments first and your workload will become streamlined.
At the end of the day you will feel less stressed and tired as your system of assigning priorities to tasks will help you in automating your work leaving you with more energy to approach your work.
