Time Management Tips for Professionals

instead of presence based work.

8. Email
Have one email for work and one for home. This will prevent you from getting sucked into email la-la land. Have people communicate withyou by email. They are much more likely to be direct if they have to type. Additionally, you have a record of your conversation to which you can refer back. Just remember your email etiquette. ALL CAPS or using multiple punctuation marks is quite rude and construed as yelling and generally throwing a tantrum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since there is no chance for vocal inflection, it is better to make emails overly polite.

9. Get enough rest
Without adequate rest it is difficult to concentrate and you will make needless mistakes. Keep a pad and pencil by your bed to jot down anything that comes into your mind so you do not dwell on it and you can rest more easily.

10. Get interns
Most professional colleges (engineering, building construction, counseling, addictions, rehabilitation) require students to have done at least one internship before entering the program and then two more while in the program. This is free labor. WHen students apply for an internship with you, just make sure you have a job description and get references from at least 1 professor and 1 prior employer to make sure they won’t waste your time. They NEED a good recommendation from you so they usually go above and beyond the call to do a good job.

Try implementing these things for yourself and in your office. You will find that you save a lot of time and have higher morale and productivity.
