TAKING CHARGE OF YOUR WORK

1.  Don't procrastinate- remember that if something needs to be done, no time is better than the present time.

2. Get involved in your work. Use every minute available.  If you are trying to decide what to do next, then prioritize.  Look at each task and set them up as A, B, C, etc.  If you have more than a handful set each task up as A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3, etc.  Then get started.  

3. Don't wait for someone else to get started or make the first move. If working on a team, then find out what you have to do and get started. If you are ahead of the team, all the better.

4. Always leave the less important tasks until you are caught up with the urgent ones.  Remember though, just because something is suddenly dropped on your desk, you don't have to stop everything to study it. Stay focused on the task you are working on.

5. Remember the important rule of breaking a large task into a number of smaller ones.  This will make the task easier to accomplish and certainly simpler to establish proper work time periods for.

6. If you have a number of tasks to accomplish to be overwhelmed.  Pick one task then start on it.  Move the second task and so on. You will accomplish your goal.  

7. It's easy to be distracted by daily interruptions.  It's also easy to pick simple tasks first rather than difficult ones.  Instead, identify the task that really needs to be done, or will generate the income or results you are wanting to realize.  Then get started.

8. Plan, plan and plan. 

9. When an opportunity presents itself, take advantage of it immediately.
