When we talk about the spectrum of work and the decision making that goes into it, the decision making that one would use for a mature business person, let’s say, even with ten years of experience versus a new teammate that maybe was just joining an organization hired to work remotely, that landscape of work is changing so rapidly.

Manage: Consider these points as you organize your workload. Doing too many things can actually waste time. Check: Are phone calls planned? For each one, write down what you hope to accomplish with the phone call to help you stay focused. It reduces confusion by improving organization and leaves your work space clean.

The two minute rule states that if a task comes up that will take you two minutes or less (a phone call, responding to an email, quick data input etc), then you should drop what you’re doing and take care of it. Besides that, what would your day look like if a series of two-minute tasks came up while you were trying to work on a big project?

And as I climbed the admin ladder, when I got recruited for a project manager role, the person who referred me was also someone I had met when I was “just a temp” stuffing those thousands of envelopes. That will take a deliberate game plan and focus.

When I started to work for this project (and yes, it was just a pet project in the beginning), all I did was to log daily my progress. Learned how to create a project and what the folder structure means. Can be tricky at times. Did a few tests with some sample projects to see how the building process works.
