Sometimes it feels like there’s too much work to
do and not enough time to get it done. When the pile gets too high,
it’s easy to panic, which can slow things down further. Instead,
take a step back and think of ways to be more efficient and handle
the load better. Building off our prior advice for setting goals and
organizing your work space, putting them together can set you on the
road to efficient habits. Having the right stock of supplies helps
too. Here are two tools to help you get the most out of your time.
Shop ticket holders have been around forever and
were designed for warehouses, factories, and other large facilities
with a lot of workers constantly on the move. Holders have holes for
hanging and sheets can easily be swapped in and out. They also have a
hidden feature making them perfect for using at your desk: the vinyl
covers work as a dry-erase surface. You can use them to make reusable
checklists, to-do lists combining routine tasks with unique jobs, or
any assignment where you have to answer the same questions
repeatedly. Just insert a sheet with the parts that stick around and
write whatever is temporary. You’ll even avoid desk clutter by
hanging it on your wall.
We’ve emphasized clearing your desk of all but
the daily essentials. You might think shoving off a calculator is a
smart move. After all, you’ve got one on your computer and your
phone. But if you are regularly playing with numbers, especially
outside of spreadsheets, you’ll want to keep it around and it may
even stay on your desk. Pulling a calculator app on your computer
pulls you away from the window you’re working on and opens another
one. Your monitor(s) should be treated like your desk with only the
important stuff on it at any given moment. Meanwhile, your phone is a
minefield of potential distractions. Keep a desktop calculator within
reach, preferably one with nice big buttons like the Victor 1180-3A,
so you can make quick calculations without leaving your screen or
losing focus.
