What are some strategies that you help you work efficiently while working on a project?  Are there any tips, tricks or tools you use when you're in a time crunch?

 

Thanks for sharing!

  • Hi Nicole,

     

    Here are some things I did to create "work" time.

     

    1.  Schedule time to get work done.  Make sure that everyone knows that you do not want to be interrupted during "work time."

    2.  Avoid useless meetings.  Always ask why do I need to be there and ask if you can just send a small update report to the meeting.

    3.  If you have a door on your office or work place, close it.  Most people will understand that you are busy or doing something important.  Those who won't take the hint, you can then "lock" the door.  At the very least, remind people to "knock" before entering.

    4.  Work at home.  This one is tricky, some companies support it, others freakout.  At least suggest a place offsite where you and your team can work uninterrupted.

     

    I found that these activities helped in most situations.  Either way, let people know that "you" need work time.

     

    Just my opinion,
