Your Office and Lingerie
By: Janet L. Hall
Most commonly it is up to secretaries and office personnel to
keep the office running smooth, efficient, and not waste time
or money. Yet many sales people don't have this luxury.
Try the 10 tips below for one month and see what a
difference your life and work will take on.
1. Right now get out your calendar and PEN in one hour
of time every Friday for the next month to work on
ONLY those tasks that you need to do or want to do
2. Make a list of all the things that seem to get out of
control or piled up during the week and figure out or
discover a different system. Yours isn't working or
you wouldn't be reading this.
3. Get my 5 W's of Organizing, a TEASER, and a
TICKLE by downloading your copy from
http://wwwoverhall.com/products.htm Read and
follow the steps now and anytime things get out of
control.
4. Buy a tickler file or make one yourself (I tell you how
at http://www.overhall.com icklerfile.htm )
5. Keep all the "jobs" you're working on (or call backs) in your tickler
stand or the file drawer of your desk. Put the job
away when you're finished working on it for the day.
Better yet, schedule the next time you will work on the
job and file it in your tickler for that date.
6. To ensure you don't have interruptions come in early
or stay late. Yes you can do this if you really want to
shine and be successful.
7. If you need professional help or training then by all
means talk to your boss about this.
8. Always keep your area clean and organized. This will
help you stay more focused on the task at hand. You
won't have all your other "jobs" sitting there screaming
at you, "Work on me, no work on me, just take a peek,
I need some attention!"
9. Automate, Automate, Automate! Making your job
easier will make life in general better for you.
10. Give yourself a reward for all your hard work.
Now what about those mornings when you can't find that
certain lingerie (underclothes for men)? You know; that
favorite slip that fits just right, or the only black camisole you
have to wear under the blouse you want to wear.
Well what are you doing right now? Reading this right?
Well, stop right now and go organize those drawers! Let me
know how it went.
