A couple of time management and performance tips
I liked the advice of Sarah E. Needleman, editor of CareerJournal.com , how to catch two birds with one stone: to succeed at work and at the same time not to start a personal life. You just need to properly organize your working time. At first I thought to translate the whole article , but then I realized that theses would be more interesting.
1. Know when you work best
Professionals reach peak productivity at certain times during the day. And you try to organize your time in such a way that the most time-consuming tasks are solved during your “ascent”.
Someone believes that there is a big difference between "not being in the office at all" and "being, but not doing anything." Rave! All the way around. If you came to the office, then be productive, or do not come at all.
2. Set deadlines
Set a date for the performance of even such a task, which is not obliged to be solved in a certain time frame. While the problem is "fresh", it is easier and easier to work with.

3. Watch your surroundings.
On average, an employee who performs intellectual work on a full-time basis is distracted by as much as two hours of his time. To avoid this, hang a note on your door stating that you are busy, colleagues will reckon with this. Alternatively, you can simply ignore calls and letters when you are focused on the project. Escape is very easy and fast, and returning to work will take time and effort. You can allocate a certain time to check all messages simultaneously. Let not the phone keeps you under control, but you let it.
4. Eliminate all unnecessary work.
Identify tasks that can be deleted from your plan. Perhaps you write in a general pile of notes that only you need, and no one else.
5. Work on the go
Some people manage to send dozens of e-mails on their way to work, while spending time on transport. In general, this time is often unproductive, however, it allows you to prepare well for a normal working mode from the very beginning to the office. Drivers, for example, can listen to podcasts or audio books or even make calls using hand-free.
