Schedule the End of Your Day

Create an End-of-Day Routine

The last few hours of the work day can significantly improve your productivity - so it's important to have a routine that sets you up for success the next morning.

Don't let your work day fill up your entire evening by setting an optimal finishing time.

When nearing the end of your day, review your To-Do list and the next day's schedule to add anything that you did not complete today. Tidy up your work area and sort through your email in-box before you leave.

Do your best to tie up any loose ends so that you can truly disconnect when you walk out the door. Reflect on your best achievement and leave on a good note with your coworkers.

Time Pockets

Using spare time efficiently

Time pockets refer to the small amounts of time between other more major events in your day.

These typically consist traveling, waiting for meetings, and work breaks between meetings. While the time is seemingly small, these times can quickly add up..

Use the time pockets to finish some work that will fit into the time period and can be done during these casual times. Intensive work is best saved for devoted time at your desk.

Create a Daily Plan

Plan Before Your Day Starts

Create a plan for your day. Do it in the morning or, even better, the night before.

The plan gives you a good overview of how the day will pan out, which will help you focus and stay on track.

Your job for the day is to stick to the plan as much as possible.
