Smart Work Habits

It’s perfectly ok to go to the kids’ soccer game – just schedule it as part of your work plan.

Delete all cc’d email to you without reading them that contain 3 or more cc’s. Got it?

Process your email on a schedule rather than checking it constantly. Put it on your schedule!

Do not sent cc’s for FYI – it’s really CYA. You know what YOUR job requires. Be sure that you are providing important updates rather than junk email.

Only put into ONE moving box what will go into ONE file drawer or storage shelf.

Stop unnecessary interruption. Turn off the visual and audio email alerts on your computer.

Schedule your work and work your schedule.

Send less emails – get less emails. Is that last word "thank you" really necessary to a group email? Think it through.
