IT depends upon the type of job you have.  If, for example, your job is something that requires coverage of a phone or help desk or dealing with hospital patients, your proposal probably won't happen.  If your job is basically one that has weekly or monthly deadlines, but some days are wild and others are not, you may be able to get it done.\n\nWrite up a proposal.  Emphasize that while imporving employee satisfaction (yours!), it will not cost the company any more money.  Show how your being gone one day a week will not harm the current information flow and operation of the business.  Show how your work day would be, specifying when and how long breaks will be.  Show how being there an extra 1.5 hours/day will add to productivity overall for both you and the business.  I'd try to not tie it to yourself exactly, more to the position you are currently holding.\n\nBest wishes!

So I'm not the only one!  Here what I do.  I set a goal, any goal.  For example, orgainize time by scheduling certain things at particular times.  Do not shcedule your whole life, just important stuff.  Then work on it not more than 20 mins each day.  (Give yourself a day off with nothing scheduled.)  This way you are training yourself to have goals and work on self-discipline in following a routine.  Remember, the key is not to devote too much time, then it becomes a chore.  You'll notice a difference after the first month and after three months you'll be hooked.

Yes.  Prepare a poem, outlining these particular and funny work habits.  One stanza for each employee.\n\nThen line up several other employees - each to read one stanza of the poem.  \n\nWe did this one time & it was very successful.

Are you giving him tasks with DEFINITE due dates?  Or just, we need this done.\n\nMany companies make the mistake of piling on work, but never setting realistic project end dates or "rating" the jobs their workers need to get done.\n\nWhen giving him a task, set due dates.  Tell him you must see a rough draft/outline in 1 week (or whatever).  When that is done, tell him that he must have "x" done by another date.  \n\nIt sounds to me like he needs some guidance to prioritize his days.  Maybe sitting down with him and expressing your concerns and asking him to write down all his daily/weekly/monthly responsibilites.  Then sit down with him and help him prioritize.\n\nI had a boss who was a "great thinker" at any one time I could be working on 20 different "projects" on top of my daily duties.  I quickly learned to keep a list of projects, and my regular duties handy, so that when he popped in asking about the info for some far-flung project I could pull out my list and ask him where my priorities should be.  It always worked to let him see just exactly what I was working on.\n\nNow, when I give my staff projects, I prioritize for them.  Telling them exactly what needs to be done first and when it needs to be done.   So, if they do not reach the due date, and have no good reason, I know I need to have a "come to jesus" talk with them about their future in my company.\n\nGood luck, he may just be a skirter.

Show up early everyday. Do not sit around a socialize most of the afternoon. Get you work completed in a timely manner and correctly. Do not be afraid to ask for clarification or for help if you do not know how to do something. If your work is done, ask your supervisor if there is any additional work you can do to help them or the company. And always dress professionally. Always be professional in your dress, speech, and written communications. Also let your boss know you want to excell in your career and see if they will put you on a plan, where you have goals and if you meet them, you get "x"

BE ORGANIZED... make your TO-DO list... be disciplined enough to follow it... prioritize... identify the stuffs that are the most important... if its time to work, WORK... don't linger... don't deviate from your schedules... then award yourself when you finally meet the deadline... give yourself a pat in the shoulder and treat yourself to a spa... or simple pleasures in life... like a quality time with your gf/bf, an ice cream... chocolates... or a nice, uninterrupted sleep... GOODLUCK!

evaluate, prioritize, organize\n\nSit down and write down your schedule for each day. Figure out if there is anything that you can take out of your schedule, combine with something else to give you more time, etc. Also, decide if spending time with your friends or resting is more important than anything you are currently doing.\n\nCan you shift your schedule a bit? These evening commitments - can they become every-other-week commitments?\n\nLife can be overwhelming at times but if you really look at what is a priority and what isn't, maybe you can find a way to fit in some fun.

Learning how to work under pressure and tough deadlines.  This comes in handy when your director asks you to produce a complicated report for a meeting that starts in five minutes.\n\nLearning how to prioritize.  Which task should I do first?  The one my director said was due this morning or the one the president of the company wanted right away?\n\nLearning to work as part of a team.  "I want to kick this m*therf**king b*tch upside the head" (I scream in my head), but outwardly I smile and say, Yes of course you're absolutely right, I'll see that it gets done right away.\n\nLearning to produce magnificent miracles with a minuscule budget.  The constant phrase each year is, "It's cut-back time"\n\nLearning to dress and maintain a professional demeanour.  Even though you want to have a drag out, kick fest fight with that b*tch in accounting, you smile and say "Good morning and how are you today" in your chirpiest voice.

You can download an excel template such as the free Employee Shift Schedule from the MS Office templates website (link attached), or hire somebody to create a custom template for you. Alternatively, you can also use Microsoft Project if you have experience in it.\n\n----------------------------------\nMichael\nhttp://www.ecomtrail.com

They should have an orientation where you fill out all the paperwork, then the first day your scheduled usually you'll either clock in first and then your manager will either train you or introduce you to your trainer. Your trainer is just going to walk you through the process and then let you try it one on one.

List all the things you must do in your personal life (e.g. food shopping), and in your working life - two lists.  Identify the regular jobs, daily, by day, weekly. List those on day-by-day columns.  That should leave spaces for "inflow".  Then each week, and each night, plan those infills you can plan - but leave gaps for "more to come".  That will allow you to prioritise your efforts, and leave a sense of being able to cope with the unexpecteds.  We can waste a lot of time on the "urgent" things, instead of the "important" ones, otherwise. NEXT you might try a year planner on your wall - or something I used, a "Bring Forward" system.  It had 32 manilla folders, dated 1 to 31 for the days of the months; the 32nd was called "seeds" which were jobs I could pick up when time was truly spare; and then there were 12 folders for the months of the year.  As a job or task emerged, I would make a quick dated note, drop it into the appropriate day-file (or month-file) for when I needed to deal with it.  Clear desk. Mind focussed on job at hand (which always included periods for "idle thought" and another for "review").  Stress and anxiety relieved.  And all jobs done.  But I still had to work all night sometimes -- and when I had two personal secretaries and a dictation machine with two transposers I was flying.  Nowdays I'm long retired and use the "reminders" and calendar functions of my mobile telephone for similar functions.  By the way, touch typing was my greatest aid in everything, apart from good people. Any executive is only as good as his off-sider or secretary.

Pray. \nGo to bed on time. \nGet up on time so you can start the day unrushed. \nSay No, to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health. \nSimplify and unclutter your life. \nLive within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases. \nK.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble. \nGet enough exercise. \nEat right. \nGet organized so everything has its place. \nWhile driving, listen to a tape that can help improve your quality of life. \nWrite thoughts and inspirations down. \nEvery day, find time to be alone. \nTalk less; listen more. \nRemind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe. \nCircle yourself with good friends.\n\nLaugh. Laugh some more!
