Multi - Tasking

Multi-tasking

Spend 5 minutes first thing in the morning and after lunch to list things as follows (things to do list):

· Important and urgent calls, emails and admin work that has to be done today

· Important work that needs to be done as soon as possible but can wait to be completed tomorrow

· Anything else that needs to be progressed if time is available

· Plan ahead so that as little as possible is done in the last minute

Also:

· Take time and double check things without rushing (bookings, quotes, joining instructions etc)

· Do one task at a time

· Only having one folder open at a time and return any that I'm not using thus utilizing space

· Report progress and issues that arise regularly to my managers

· Prepare computer at start with Outlook, Business Manager, Website and the consultant database running

Try to keep 3 hours in the morning for training and 3 in the afternoon for marketing activities. If this is not possible, for example if a training course is on, then re-dress the balance the next day. Get anything urgent done in the first part of the session.
