Time Management Tips from Day Timer

This room makes me want to get more done!Desk at the window

This is one that I remind patients of frequently,  especially elderly patients!!
Leverage Your Mind! Use it for Thinking, not Remembering -
There is not only more to do these days, but more to remember. When your mind is cluttered with things you are trying to remember, it is not as free to focus on vital work activities.
Solution? Pick a time management tool that works best for you (either paper or electronic.) Then, be meticulous about entering all appointments, dates, deadlines, and important information.
Make it a habit to carry it with you and let the tool do your remembering for you. Freeing your mind this way should help you increase your focus and reduce stress.
