Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 5:00PM On managing your affairs in a new age: Why work "hard" when you can work smart?
To keep up with all the technology, services, and distractions--you have to have some tricks.
I ran across a treasure trove of good personal information on how to manage the vagaries of the ordinary professional life--to say nothing of one in the fast lane. FastCompany's May issue has a page that features the contributions of Gina Trapani, founding editor of Lifehacker.com, author, and contributor to TWIG, This week in google, with Leo Leporte.
What's noted on Page 18 of the May edition are six valuable pointers--maybe one you could profit from:
1. Conquering eMail inbox by treating it like a postal box.
2. Tricks to managing your social-media life like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
3. Steering clear of the multi-tasking trap by focusing instead on one thing at a time.
4. Time blocking to avoid distractions.
5. Managing your cyberspace identify.
6. How to make procrastination productive.
If you're good at this kind of stuff--good for you! I'm not, and value Gina's observations a lot. You might as well. I recommend her ideas to you.
