These days our working days rush by very quickly and most of the time we get to the end of the day and realise that we didn’t get everything done that we needed to! In an office there are many distractions, normally in the form of people who will slow you down regardless of whether you are sat working at your office desk, in a meeting or walking around the office.

You can, however, save time in many ways by organising your administration and phone time separately and allocating slots for answering emails.

Keeping your office desk tidy is a great time saving device because you are able to find everything you need if you are tidy.  Make your working day start working for you by controlling your time and bringing organisation into the office.

Remember that the office equipment around is there to aid and speed up your own job.

Book timeslots for people to talk with you rather than have them wander up to you randomly as you are working. Control your deadlines from your office desk by taking control of your own time.

Don’t sit in your office chair to hold meetings, always go to a meeting room because that way you will be taken more seriously and interrupted far less during your meeting.
