new content. Number 1. Use to-do lists. To-do lists help you stay on track and productive throughout the day
0:35
Use a to-do list to write down important things you want to accomplish and organize your list
0:40
based on priority. For example, list the top three tasks that you must get done at the top of the list and
0:47
things that can wait until tomorrow at the bottom of the list
0:51
You can take your organization a step further by color-coordinating tasks in order of urgency
0:57
Number 2. Use a planner. Journaling is a great way to keep on top of your progress throughout the days, weeks
1:05
and years. Besides achievements, you can also keep note of upcoming meetings and set goals, so it's
1:11
always at the forefront of your mind. Depending on your preference, you can purchase a written or digital journal with dates or without
1:20
Number 3. Manage your time. Managing your time effectively is a key skill to have in the workplace
1:27
You should know how long it takes you to complete a certain task, which allows you
1:31
to then trim off unnecessary hours off your day. By allocating a specific time to tasks, you can also achieve more during your working day
1:41
Number 4. Learn to delegate. If you have a mountain of work to get through, it's impossible for you to do it all on
1:48
your own. So, if a project has a tight deadline, learn to delegate tasks to colleagues who are best
1:54
equipped with handling it. If you can match the work to people's skills, you will be able to get the highest quality
2:00
of work completed in a reasonable amount of time. Number 5. Be an early bird
2:07
As the age-old saying goes, the early bird catches the worm first
2:12
And if you look at all successful entrepreneurs, they all follow a similar daily routine that
2:17
involves waking up early, allocating time for a workout or self-care before starting
2:22
work for the day. So if you want to be more organized, follow suite and create a great morning routine that
2:29
makes you motivated to work hard. Number 6. Limit distractions. It's easier to stay organized and productive when you limit distractions
2:39
By doing so, it allows you to stay focused on one task instead of jumping back and forth
2:45
Keep common distractions like your phone out of sight, and even consider muting Slack or
2:50
email notifications while you're working towards a deadline. Number 7. Keep a tidy environment
2:58
Keeping a clean and tidy working area makes your work more efficient
3:02
When you have a clean working environment, you don't get distracted by the mess around
3:06
you and don't waste your time looking for something that you need
3:10
So if you ease towards the messy side, it's time to do a bit of spring cleaning and tidy
3:16
your workspace. Number 8. Take regular breaks. Regular breaks are needed to stay focused and productive
3:24
So give yourself a period of time, say 40 minutes, to crack down on some work before
3:30
you take a short 5-10 minute break to recharge your batteries and refocus
3:35
If you have a sedentary job, use this time to get up and walk around or do some stretching
3:40
to get your blood flowing. Now that you're well-equipped with the best ways to be organized, you'll be much more
3:47
prepared in a working environment. But if you're looking for more tips and tricks, visit CareerAddict.com for more advice
