16 Ways to Get More "Stuff" Done

August 3, 2009 by Anne Bachrach Leave a Comment

In a perfect world, we would all like to work less and play more. The slogan “work smarter, not harder” is splattered across memo boards, sidewalks and bumper stickers across the nation, yet how many of us can truly say we practice working smarter every day of our working lives?

 

Although “work smarter, not harder” seems to have become the daily mantra for 21st century working people, most of them will tell you it’s a whole lot easier to say it than it is to do it!

 

Nevertheless, to operate effectively in the current fast-paced business environment, working smarter is a necessity.  We’ve made a list of 16 of the most valuable techniques to help you work smarter, not harder.

1.      Set daily goals

2.      Cull your to-do list

3.      Create mini goal posts

4.      Worst tasks first

5.      Pick up the pace

6.      Necessities rather than neatness

7.      Tame your In Tray/Basket (on your desk)

8.      Organize your office

9.      Enthusiasm equals energy

10.  Prioritize to plan

11.  Make promises not excuses

12.  Even out the playing field

13.  Deadline decisions

14.  The power of punctuality

15.  Get in tune with your intuition

16.  Improve your processes

 

Choose 2-4 of these concepts to immediately implement into your life in the next 30 days so you can achieve your goals.  Make a decision today that you are going to “work smarter, not harder so you can be even more successful and enjoy a more balanced life.

Testimonials

I’ve sometimes thought of myself as not coachable – fits & starts on progress – but when I looked at where I’ve come, I can tell it works. This year, I’ve experienced over 50% growth – and with that growth came some confidence… confidence to finally go after what I know I should have done – we’ve added a flat-fee-only option to our offerings, and that’s ALL I’ll be targeting for 2014 and beyond. With that under our belts, I can foresee another 50% growth year for each of the next 2 years!

Mind over matter, right? Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. When we’re faced with a laundry list of to-dos and with not enough time in the day, it can be easier to distract ourselves and push things off to the next day. And when more items get added to our list, it becomes overwhelming, and we continue to procrastinate even more. A vicious cycle, but one that can be overcome. That’s the good news!
