1. Take time to Plan– At the end of each day, create a list of your next day’s activities. Make sure to highlight the important tasks that must get done each day. Planning is the difference between reactive and proactive. When you don’t plan, you end up responding to the day’s events as they occur.

2. Ask for input– When you get input from others you make sure you are covering all the informing and resources and not missing out on anything.

3. Manage time spent on emails and voice mails– Make sure you get your task done without being too distracted by emails and voice mails. Plan the times when you check, perhaps 3 times a day, so you don’t respond to every email or cal and get thrown off by everyone else’s priorities.
