My advice is to schedule time when you don’t check email or answer the phone. It is the only way to really get things done!
I tend to block out time for that too or all I do is respond to emails.
I read this also suggested on Getting Things Done recently.
The truth is that I fear my office. I would organize it, but where to begin? It has too many purposes: workspace (desk), art studio (I’ve run out of room for canvases), music room (5-piece drum set and keyboard), workout room (ellipse machine). And it’s about 90 square feet. Where would you start? Anyone else dealing with an over-purposed workspace?
A small amount of time to organize an office? *snort* My work space is in two different rooms, on two completely separate floors. Supposedly one is for art and the other for desk work, but it doesn’t actually work that way.
I think Kate and Jess could be friends in real-life. The more I thought about the musical inclinations, artistic power, and then there was the married-to-the-minister thing, I’m wondering if perhaps you’re twins separated at birth. Of course, Jess seems to have more office space….
#1 I find to be the most helpful. I do get a lot more done when I wake up earlier. But not too early, because I like to go to sleep right after “House Hunters International” which goes off at 11pm.
As for the “small amount of time” for organizing the office. Hahahahahaha. It takes me a small amount of time to open the door to my office, which I haven’t actually sat down in since … January.
I’ve thought about just setting it on fire.*
(Note: if my house coincidentally catches fire, it wasn’t because I set it!)
