Record meeting information on your calendar, then toss the memo. Make sure you really need it before you keep it. Toss out anything you no longer need. Don’t keep routine memos or anything that gives you information you already know or have. We you receive document revisions, toss the orginals.

Or I could explain how my child’s recent health scare derailed my focus.

Review last year’s calendar to determine what may come up in the next few months, then meet with your boss about what she hopes to accomplish. When your boss is having a bad day, it can be easy to pass that mood along to you. But you can put a plan in place that will reduce your boss’ stress and, therefore, your own.

All time management begins with planning. Use lists to set priorities, plan activities and measure progress. One approach is the 3-list method. Time is precious.

Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive. To be more productive, allocate 15 minutes each week. Initially it may take you longer to catch up if you have a large pile, but 15 minutes is manageable. We all can find this much time in our schedules.
