2. Reduce unwanted interruptions
Unsubscribe from news you do not read
Set your social media profiles so they do not forward emails direct
every time there is an action on your account.
Turn off message notifications
It takes, on average 5 minutes to get back on track
after a 30 second interruption.
Strategy #1

3. Always keep your plan in mind, better yet…in your BlackBerry®
The reason we plan is to accommodate change. Know what affect
the change has on your plan.
66 percent of those surveyed feel they don’t have
enough time to get all of their work done.
Strategy #2

4. Know when to say “NO”.
Prioritizing your commitments is key when it comes to knowing
which ones you can change/delegate or move when new tasks are
assigned.
The addition of mobile devices to the workforce has
resulted in workdays that never seem to end.
Strategy #3

5. Reduce your email traffic to calm your BlackBerry®
Avoid ‘replying to all’
Stop sending/receiving jokes
Use ‘chat’ when you are chatting, save email for messages.
Reading and processing 100 messages can occupy
over half of your day.
Strategy #4

6. Use shortcuts!
Setting up available shortcut keys can save valuable time currently spent
clicking through fields to get to the information you want.
The less effort, the faster and more powerful you
will be. Bruce Lee
Strategy #5

7. Free your mind.
Use your BlackBerry® to capture those ‘open thought loops’.
Log it and then forget about it until it is time to deal with it.
“People today are in danger of drowning in information; but, because they
have been taught that information is useful, they are more willing to drown
than they need be.
If they could handle information, they would not have to drown at all.”
Idries Shah
Strategy #6

powerful tools can help you manage.
Tools + Process = Success!
Strategy #7

9. Do it now!
Plan your week before it starts
Review your day the night before
Find the niches in your day
Procrastination is the grave
where opportunity is buried.
