In this era of faxing and multitasking, being able to effectively manage your time is essential. Here are some tips to help you maximize your work hours:
Hold daily, two-hour staff meetings to discuss ways to increase productivity and develop employees’ time-management skills
Limit quality time with children and spouse to no more than 20 to 25 minutes a week
When making business calls, get right into it; avoid elaborate two-part greetings like, “Hi there, how are you?”
Kiss spouse goodbye five times before leaving for work Monday, allowing quicker exit from house for the rest of the week
Every time you miss a deadline, give yourself an electrical shock; every time you meet one, give yourself a pellet
Save time on the phone by yelling, “Shut up!” at the beginning of each conversation and then angrily slamming down receiver
Cryogenically freeze self solid during wasteful “between meetings” time
Keep map of office near desk to stay on top of most direct routes to other cubicles
When exiting building for lunch, don’t waste time walking down stairs or taking elevator; plummet from roof of building to street below
