Boosters
Tips You Can Use Now

2. 1 Plan Your Day
 Starting your day off without a plan
means you have no idea where you are
going.
 Create a game plan at the beginning of
each day. Determine your priorities and
how you will maximize your work hours.

3. 2 Write It Down
 Now that you have a plan, write it down.
 Create a list, write it in your calendar, or
type it into notes on your phone.
 Creating a plan in your head is not
enough. It’s not real until you write it
down.

4. 3 Schedule Email Time
 Don’t let email control your life. Schedule
time throughout the day to check your
email.
 Try scheduling 3x times a day or even 6x
a day. Once you commit to a schedule
you will create a habit that will limit
distractions, thus making you more
productive.

5. 4 Only Attend Necessary Meetings
 Attending more meetings does not make
you more important.
 Only attend meeting where you add
value. It’s easy to get caught in 4-5
meetings a day. Work smarter and be
choosy about the meetings you attend.

6. 5 Batch Follow Up Calls
 Dedicate an hour for follow up
conversations. Make a list of the people
you need to contact and call them back to
back.
 This method will put you in a zone and
typically you will walk away with all your
action items at one time.

7. 6 Set Small Goals
 You may not finish every task you set out
to complete but if you break big projects
down, you are one step closer.
 Set small attainable goals daily. You will
love the satisfaction of reaching even the
smallest goal.

8. 7 Dedicate Project Time
 Big projects may look unconquerable but
if you dedicate time to work on a project
daily, you will be closer to completing it.
 Mark off time on your calendar to focus
on your project uninterrupted.

9. 8 Limit Distractions
 Close your door, shut down unnecessary
internet windows, and turn off the radio.
 Set yourself up for success by creating
an environment where you can get things
done without distractions.

10. 9 Use Your DND
 If you are focused and working on a task,
don’t let your concentration get away
from you. Turn on your Do Not Disturb
for your instant message and phone.
 Maintaining your increased level of
productivity is valuable. You can follow
up on what you missed once you are
done.

11. 10 Stick to Your Plan
 It’s easy to get off track throughout the
day. You made a plan, now you have to
stick to it.
 Commit to accomplishing your goals for
the day. When you start to veer away
from your plan, circle back and remember
your priorities.
