In order to accomplish something significant during your

day try these 7 tips.

1. Look at your schedule for tomorrow -- meetings, etc.,

and note your available or "free" time (non-scheduled)

time.

2. Think about your priorities for tomorrow -- Is there a

project you've been meaning to complete or a pile of

paperwork to sort through or a proposal that you need

to write? Make a list of those priorities.

3. Schedule time blocks in your day. Do like activities

together. Return phone calls together. Check and

respond to e-mails only at two or three specific times

during the day. Run all errands during one trip out of

the office.

4. Plan for tomorrow at the end of today's work day. You

will know your schedule and your priorities, and your

to-dos are fresh in your mind.

5. Schedule loosely. Leave yourself enough free time to

deal with interruptions and emergencies.

6. Make an appointment with yourself for at least 30

minutes each day. Close your door. Work on whatever

must be done.

7. Plan on spending five minutes on something you have

been procrastinating. The most difficult step of any task

you've been putting off is the first step. Generally, once

you start, you will not stop after only five minutes.
