Individual Planning Is Important Too

It is critical for employees to plan their work and plan ahead. Too often an employee's focus is disrupted by the many activities and tasks that face them on a daily basis. It is important to have a plan of attack in terms of what tasks must be accomplished by when. This means that prioritizing work is an important factor in staying focused and in accomplishing what needs to be accomplished in a timely manner. Without individual planning an employee's day tends to be chaotic and unproductive. If possible, break the day into manageable time slots and fill those in with the tasks that should be completed. Try to complete the most important tasks or those with more urgent deadlines first. As the day goes by, the time slots might need to shift due to unplanned activities or interruptions. At any rate, try hard to plan your work and stick to the plan as best you can. It will pay dividends in terms of increased productivity and reduced stress.
