Time Management •You want to spend
more than half of
your time out on the
floor meeting with
clients, employees
and guests, rather
than doing
On the Floor

In Your Office office.
12. Create Goals
It is helpful to set goals for your self to
get things done ahead of time. If a paper
is due at the end of the month, tell your
self it is done two weeks earlier.
Doing this will help to gain time for
things that are “thrown” at you with short
notice.
13. Post-It’s are your Friends!
Leave yourself notes. The mind can only
remember so many little details at once.
Write it down to help make sure you get
your stuff done.
Post-It’s are helpful because you can
color-code certain things to stay
organized.
