Here are some quick tips for getting work done

• Make sure you can concentrate, try to get rid of distracting things such a MSN, email and RSS while you work. Interestingly enough, I recently monitored the ratio of work applications to other applications, my results were about 1:5 which was shocking!
• This varies from person to person, but music and podcasts can be a distraction. Avoid anything which could need extra attention (such as news programs or music which has lots of lyrics).
• Avoid taking regular coffee and toilet breaks. It can be difficult to keep your trail of thought if you keep needing to go off and do something.
• Make sure you have had enough to eat and drink before you work. Like scientists always say “If you miss breakfast, it’s hard to concentrate”. If you really want to go crazy, have some small nibbles near by to keep you full up.
• Know what your doing! If you are unsure of what you need to do, you could end up just making a pile of crap. So when you start, make notes of what you need to do, so you know what you have done and what is still to be done.

I hope this helps ^_^
