More Tipz: How to Be More Effective in the Workplace

July 20, 2010 | In: Career

Here are a few more tips on how to be more effective in the workplace.

One thing you can do is to make sure that you have an uncluttered desk. Not only will it stop you from having to search for items under a pile of mess, it will also keep you from getting distracted. File documents and work paper accordingly. Sort office supplies and place them in organizers/containers.

Make a quick survey of your supplies. Check which ones need replenishing so you can go ahead and ask for them so your work wouldn’t be disrupted during the day just because your pen ran out of ink.

Try not to do the same task repeteadly throughout the day. If you need to photocopy something (not immediate), then do it at one time in the day where you can photocopy all the documents that need photocopying. Or if you’re going to send mail, you can save everything at the end of the day, before the last mail is to be picked up so you can have all your mail stamped and sent in for just one time.

Make sure you keep track of your deadlines. The best way to do this is by having a calendar or a planner (either electronic or paper is fine). You may also use stickies if that works for you.
