I have several tips I can offer on this subject, but here are the top 5. If you make any one of these a habit, you will see an increase in your productivity. FOCUS!

We love to dream big here at Office Dynamics. That's no secret. We wantt you to do the same. I am feeling very motivated. I recently spent a wonderful week in Columbus, Ohio teaching my Star Achievement Series® to 23 engaged administrative professionals. On the last day, I was teaching goal setting and it reminded how important it is for us to clearly identify our goals whether in our personal, professional, family, health, or spiritual life.

I had a great day working with 20 talented executive assistants and executive secretaries in Columbus. Today we covered topics such as communications styles, establishing priorities, managing multiple managers, excelling at meeting preparation, facilitating meetings, and time management. It actually was time management that stirred good discussion as everyone is struggling with the volume of work to be done with less people.

Summer is a great time to do a little clean up around the office and organize your work space. Business is usually a little quieter, employees take vacation, and there just seems to be a more relaxed atmosphere at work. It is the perfect time for you to get organized before the craziness of business sets in this fall. Messy desks are no longer just an office eyesore, unkempt workspaces are becoming a productivity issue as offices become more cramped and cubicles replace private offices.

Hello! We all use an iPad in our office for many things and we are always learning more about this awesome tool. In fact, we know of a webinar that will help you if you are interested in learning about effective use of your iPad for business. If you don't have an iPad but your boss does and you need to help them with it, often, this might be a great webinar for you to attend so you can teach them how to really use their iPad for business!
