Take advantage of time scheduling software which integrates with your email and hand-held devices to make certain that all of your important events will be at your fingertips no matter where you are. A paper daily planner is good, but having to carry it around with you can be hard. If you can access your schedule via your phone, you will always have it available.

It's vital that you stay with your schedule once you set it in place. When you start your work day, try your best to complete the tasks you need to do for the day. If you have a lot of projects, it's better if you shoot to get them completed a couple of days or even a week or two before their actual deadlines. Procrastination will be your ruination, so try to be proactive.

Prioritize the big jobs over the small jobs. You can complete the smaller jobs later on. This helps to ensure that you get the major items completed earlier in the day so that you will not run out of time and have to leave them for another day. You can tackle the smaller jobs after lunch as they won't take as much time to finish as the bigger tasks.

Perhaps your spouse can take the children out for a few hours as you finish a project that's on a tight deadline. Perhaps your sister-in-law or best friend can do you a favor and cook one night for you as you try to hammer out a huge project. You might be surprised with just how happy the people around you would be come to your aid.

Give yourself a break. You have to take five-minute breaks even when you have a great deal of work to do. Quick breaks will help you recharge yourself and re-focus. Whenever you don't take a break and simply continue to work non-stop, you will end up making more mistakes.
