Recently, at a workshop I was conducting, one of the attendees said, 'I start work at 9:00AM, and often spend an hour each day just trying to figure out what I have to do that day. It seems like by the time I actually start doing any work, half of my morning is already wasted.' Here are three quick ideas I offered...

1) Give yourself a head start. Rather than waiting until the beginning of your day to begin planning, make your To Do list the night before. This way, you'll be all set to get going the following morning.

2) Begin on time, or earlier. Start working on your To Do List items at your regularly scheduled time or earlier if possible. Like if you normally begin working at 8:00am, try starting at 7:45am. It's amazing how much more productive starting 15 minutes earlier can be.

3) Evaluate what you're working on. Just because you've been doing something a certain way for a long time, doesn't necessary mean it's the most productive way. Reevaluate how you're doing your tasks to be sure that they really have to be done, and if so, that they're being done in the most efficient way possible.

Two weeks later, I received an email from the person that originally asked me the question. Very excited, he exclaimed, 'I've tried these 3 ideas out for the past two weeks and they have been a tremendous help. Not only am I feeling more productive in the morning, but I've also re-systemized my workflow. At first, I was thinking that it couldn't possibly be this simple. But when I actually began following these tips, every single day, the results were amazing. Thanks!'

If you're experiencing a similar dilemma, perhaps you might consider implementing these 3 simple ideas too. While they may seem basic, sometimes, the simplest tips provide the greatest improvements.

P.S. By the way, Christmas is just around the corner. Make sure it's n joyous, organized one. My Christmas Holiday Planner can help you make this holiday season your most organized yet!
