Sixty-nine workdays. That’s how many days studies suggest employees spend on repetitive tasks in a year. If you’re looking to cut down on wasted time, here are some tips.
Minimize Paperwork
If you can store it digitally, you should. Memos, reports – anything that’s not a security risk should be scanned and stored electronically. This eliminates unnecessary filing time.
Learn Shortcuts
Many office workers don’t realize how much a time saver keyboard shortcuts can be. Even in a program like Outlook, you can use shortcuts. Try it out! Instead of clicking Reply All, try using Command + R (if on a MAC) or Windows Key + R (if on a PC) next time you open your email.
Employ Reminders
Being ten minutes late to a meeting can disrupt not only your schedule but your coworkers’. To ensure that you are on time, give yourself a digital reminder 5 minutes before each meeting.
