In a fast paced industry like the DM industry, time management and organizational skills are essential to achieve any sort of success. This brings us to the second tip in our time management series.

Tip #2:

TASKS IN OUTLOOK

Create tasks in Outlook for your projects, big or small, where you have a near, distant or recurring deadline.

We all need a few reminders because no one can remember everything they need to do when they work in a fast-paced and multi task-oriented job.

Tasks can prompt you to start a project and then be used to monitor your progress as your deadline approaches. It will take you about 30 seconds to set up a task once you have the hang of it but the amount of time it can save you is immeasurable.
