2. When is your most productive time of the day?
2. When is your most productive time of the day?
From about 10am to midday after I realised the amount of work I need to get done for the rest of the day and week. Which involves me reprioritising my “MUST DO” list & making a start on that e.g. getting phone calls done before lunch time breaks.
3. What’s your top tip for staying on top of things and getting stuff done?
As above; my To do list, well I call it my MUST DO list otherwise the To Do’s never get done! I now (after many years) find it helpful to let others know what I hope to get done during the day as it raises the stakes of getting it done and to ask for help from others.
Editor's Note: There are lots if tips on list writing and getting through to do lists in the articles below. Just follow the links...
4. What made you laugh this week?
During my week off, I’d organised a photo shoot for my dog Loki at Lydiard, and after trying to get him to come out of the lake and shake on cue he decided to run straight up to the photographer and shake all the water off onto him!!!
