Organizing Tip of the Month:
May, 2008:
Do you constantly find yourself rushing through your
day from appointment to appointment? Are
you known for being late to things? Try
this time management tip: overestimate
the amount of time you need to accomplish things during your day.
For instance, if someone asks you to attend a meeting that is only expected
to take an hour, block out 90 minutes on your calendar.
The meeting may run late or you may want to follow-up with one of the
attendees after the meeting. Allocating
90 minutes for the meeting will add some flexibility to your schedule so
you’re not rushing to get to the next meeting or appointment.
Do the same thing when estimating the amount of time it will take you
to drive somewhere. If you live
in
Fairfield
County
, you know how unpredictable the traffic situation can be.
Allowing extra time for your travels will decrease your stress level
and get you to your destination safely and on time (if not early!).
If you have a tip you’d like to share, please call or email me and
I’d be happy to publish it, including your name, as a future Tip of the
Month.

For those of you who like to recycle their gently used clothing, books,
computer equipment, etc. into the community but don't always know where to
bring these items, we've compiled a list of places that will take your
"stuff" off your hands! From appliances to eye glasses and
cork to packing peanuts, we've got it here. The list is alphabetical
by item type with a complete directory of donation sites and contact
information at the end. Also included is information on how to dispose
of tires, paint, and other hazardous materials. |
