The first step to becoming more efficient at work is to manage your e-mail. Some people check and respond to their e-mail many times throughout the day. Instead of stopping and starting projects between checking your e-mails, set up 3 designated times to check your e-mail each day. Take care of all your e-mail responsibilities during these 3 designated times and concentrate on your work for the rest of the day.

The second step to becoming more efficient at work is to not procrastinate your big projects at work. When you leave your big projects for last, you are not going to be focused on the smaller tasks, as you know in the back of your mind what is waiting for you later. You will also not be as fresh if you start your hardest task late in the afternoon, after you have already been working on other tasks all day. Start your biggest tasks early in the morning, this way you will be more fresh when you are working on them, will subsequently get the job done quicker, and will not have to worry about the task later as you are doing other jobs.

The third step is to make a consequence for yourself if you do not follow your planned routine. Many people love to reward themselves when they do something good, if you procrastinate and do not get the job done, then make a consequence such as taking a shorter lunch, or not going to the nice restaurant for lunch that day. When you make penalties for your actions it will force you to really push to get your work done in time. Try this method to force yourself to do a project or task that you have to do, but do not want to do.
