Ducks in a Row

It's Wonderful Wednesday and I have some quick tips for you to get all your ducks in a row. 
Do you find yourself not having enough time in your day to get things done?
Time to get it Together! I am gonna share with you 6 Time Management Tips to increase your productivity and improve your organizational skills.
1.      Prepare in Advance
         Proper prior preparation is needed the night before your day. When you write a plan the night before your  subconscious mind goes to work on your plans while you sleep.  You will wake up in the morning with ideas and insights that apply to the work of the day.  Another added benefit is that you will sleep more soundly, deeply, and will be more refreshed the next day. Insomnia is somewhat eliminated when you have written plan.

2.     Schedule your Time
        It reduces your stress and releases energy. The act of using your organizational skills to plan your day, week, and or month gives you a greater feeling of control.  You will feel in charge of your life. It will also  improve your self esteem and improve your sense of personal power.
 3.     Start Early
         The more time you sit, think, and plan the better organized you will be in every area of your life. Biographies and autobiographies of most successful people seem to have ONE thing in common. Great organizational skills and the habit of going to bed early and rising early to start the day. A few minutes of quiet reflection in the morning can save you many hours.  You tend to be more calm, clear headed, and more creative throughout the day. 
4.     Organizational Skills
        Use a filing system at home or work will improve your skills. Keep them in alphabetical order, or in subject folders on your PC. Always have a backup.  Studies have shown that 30% of your day is wasted looking for misplaced items and can sometimes be considered lost for good. Valuable time is wasted.
5.     Prime Time 
        Internal Primetime-Organize your life so that your are doing creative work at your own prime time. When you are most alert you will be more productive. For most people it is in the morning after a good night  rest. Others are more creative at night. 
        External Primetime-This is a factor to take into consideration when structuring your day. Be aware that everyone has their own prime time- customer, clients, friends, and family have their own time that they are readily available and at their creative best. 
6.     Air Travel Productivity
        Most people are traveling by air these days and most people who fly waste time when they can be productive.  There was a study done that concluded 1 hour of uninterrupted work on a plane was equal to 3 hours of work done at home or at the office. Key work UNINTERRUPTED.  Plan before you fly and you can increase productivity while in the air.
