I’ve written a post on how I stay productive as a professional communicator over at my other blog, Nonprofit Communications. You can click over for the full post, but here is the quick summary:
1. Invest in speed.
2. Prioritize often.
4. Delegate.
5. Hire professionals.
6. Do similar jobs at the same time.
7. Make a little time for yourself during the workday.
8. Turn everything off and shut the door.
9. Get organized, but don’t obsess about it.
10. Be realistic about long tasks take.

Delegating is so important! I don’t use it with work, since it’s just me, but I use it to lower the stress level at home so I CAN work! In other words, I don’t have to be the one to do the dishes. It is perfectly OK for someone else to do the dishes, and do them just fine. Haha. By delegating what’s going on in my home life, I can clear my mind to be more productive at work.
