On the rare occasion that you have some extra time on your hands with no pressing obligations, you can be really productive. Avoid the guilt of wasting the precious free time by applying the following tips.
1. Create a To Read File. Clip magazine articles you want to read. Print the interesting email or report you received, but don't have time for now. Place them in a folder called "Reading File." Keep it with you and whenever you have a chunk of time, such as in the waiting room at the Dr. Office, you will have some quick reading.
2. Create a Calls List. Create a list with non-urgent phone calls you need to make. Take it with you everywhere. Whenever, you have a free minute you can check off a bunch of those calls in a short amount of time. As a bonus tip, include the contacts' phone numbers on your list.
3. Create an Email List. Most of us have smart phones. If you take the time to make a list of emails you need to make and keep the list with you, it will prove to be extremely useful. You can knock out quite a few emails with little effort while you are waiting for your oil to be changed, for instance.
4. Create a to Listen File. I store MP3's and voicemails in hear for later review. I love this for the commute to work. You will too.Bonus Tip:In our digital world this can all be done on your smart phone. I suggest using Evernote. If you need any help with this please do not hesitate to give me a call.
