5 Tips For Improving Workplace Performance
1. Organize Your Workspace (And Your Files): It's easy
to let your desk space become cluttered with papers, files, and knickknacks.
Anything that won't help your productivity should be put away or
discarded. Keep your family photos, of course, and clear out the rest.
This goes for your files, too! Whether you use a filing cabinet or
keep everything on your hard drive, there's a good chance your files need to be
decluttered and reorganized. Your workspace reflects your mental state;
if your desk is in chaos, your work might be, too.
2. Set Your Daily Priorities In Order: The first
thing you should do to stay focused is to create a prioritized list of tasks
you need to accomplish throughout the day. Many people forget this
incredibly simple and helpful practice.
3. Resolve Problems Promptly:
When you encounter a minor problem, don't put it off until later.
Unresolved problems can build up and become a big distraction from more
important work, and this will affect your performance.
4. Update Your Calendar: One of the
best ways to stay organized is to pick a time and date for this type of
maintenance, then stick to that schedule. Set aside time to keep your
workspace organized, clear out your inbox, and keep your files in order.
Use your office calendar as a resource not only for meetings and projects
but also for daily and weekly routines that will keep you productive.
