Being organized means marshalling resources - The Boston Globe
The ideas mentioned in this article that might help are:
- You can do anything but not everything -- and you can only do one thing at a time.
- The biggest time-management mistake is keeping track of commitments in your head...so just get it out of your mind.
- Once you know the task, figure out the action you need to take within 24 hours.
- Start by blocking an hour or half-hour each day as power time to accomplish priorities. That may mean coming in early or hiding in the cafeteria to escape interruptions.
- Break tasks into 10-minute segments; when you get interrupted, jot a phrase or cue to bring you back into the task later.
Good luck on it.
