You'd hoped that when you got in this morning, it would be gone. But that towering pile of work--everything from mail to memos--is right where you left it. The boss pops in to ask if you can spare a few minutes. You're drowning in a pile of papers, and she wants to know if you can spare a few minutes. All she's going to do is to give you more work anyway. This job is impossible!

Is that what your work life feels like day after day---an endless number of little tasks and big headaches? Preplan your day and this will help you feel good about yourself and your job!
It's 9:00 a.m., and you're sitting at your desk staring at a long report, performance reviews, three memos to answer and a press release. It has all got to be done, but you can't even decide where to begin. If only somebody could organize this mess . Well, somebody can--you!

Now, divide projects into three smaller lists. Your A-list items are of highest priority . Gather phone numbers and files you need so that you won't waste valuable time. Then draw up the less immediate B list. If tasks are brief and easily done, you may get to some of these items the next day, but don't let them draw too much attention. Everything else should be C-listed.

Each list is flexible and subject to review at the end of the day, of course. Some items that were less important on Monday will move to Tuesday. Possibly, you can also slide in a less important task that's fun to do. Either way, it's important to begin each day with a fresh plan of attack, one that will get you past your morning panic and right down to work.
