Stan, I love it. That might explain in part why I have so much trouble with right-brained activities. I have just to opposite problem of everyone else. I`m very conceptualizing and creative most of the time. I am naturally right-handed, but due to missing several fingers on my right hand, use my left hand to mouse and write and do most acitvities that require hands. So, your thoughts have just sparked my interest to see if studying for my upcoming comprehensive exams will be easier if I engage my right hand more. Thanks for the totally cool, weird idea! If it works for me, I may try to adapt for my students as an exercise in creative thinking.

 I try to handle a piece of paper only once, e.g., when the mail comes I deal with it immediately and file things in the proper folder or the trash.


 
I really like this idea. I am going to implement it in my life.  I have done it with mail, so it is only a small step to do it with the other papers that I handle during the day.  Thanks for bringing this up.  :)

I answer all emails tomorrow.  Unless something is really urgent, it goes on tomorrow`s to-do list.  A next-next day response still feels quick to most people.  This way, every morning, I know exactly how many emails I have to deal with and I can gage how long it will take.  The process repeats each day.

I`ve found this to be the best way to handle a never-ending inbox.  A sudden flood of emails or a single one that requires a big response does not feel interrupting to my day.  I never feel overwhelmed by email at all.

Do it tomorrow!

To be more productive...

1. Plan.

2. Prioritize your tasks or goals and simply avoid unimportant things. When it's time to work, work.

3. Take the time you need to accomplish a quality job. Doing it right the first time saves you time and effort.

4. Remember to take a break. Re-charge and become more efficient.

I think trusting your employees and interacting with them will help in breaking the ice. Once they are comfortable at work productivity comes automatically.
