Jobs in Pakistan are full of pressures and expectations and one wrong move can blow it all for the scope of your career development. For this matter, u need to make sure that you didn’t fall prey of job stress and mismanagement. Different factors can play a contributing factor in lowering down your performance at workplace. One such factor which can cause trouble for you on the performance ground is a messy table. If you are not good at keeping the stuff organized it would impart a positive image of yours to the boss. Therefore, to keep yourself organized at work, consider the following advices in hand.
Establish routine for yourself: right from the first day of work, prove your seriousness from for career by being utterly organized. Since it’s your first day, consult the coworkers sharing the same workload and see how they are managing their tasks. For instance for my first day at marketing job in Pakistan, I took up the notes from my boss to get a hint of workload I should expect then took out my mobile for notes application to note down my schedule and timings to keep a hack of things .
Mark the calendar: calendar is for organized people who want to move with organized planning. To get organized at work, mark all your important meetings and tasks on the calendar. Mostly I prefer the calendar on my mobile as I left a reminder alarm for the meetings and assignments that I am up to throughout the week. I tried monthly as well as weekly calendar reminders but weekly reminders worked best for me. Besides the mobile calendar, you can also work on official calendar at your workplace or the email calendar, whatever suits your work schedule.
Maintain a proper to-do list: if you are having a properly outlined to-do list in hand it will give you ease of accessing the tasks left. I have seen employees using handwritten notes and booklets to keep a track of their tasks. However, I prefer to use Smartsheet Project Management app to access the done projects and stuff in continuity throughout my first marketing job in Pakistan. I kept my sheet very organized under the categories of highly prioritize work and so.
Keep your inbox organized: email correspondence has become a very important part of usual tasks for careers in Pakistan and one can’t get away with it. But if or inbox is remained unorganized it can cause lot of mess for our day to day routine. For that, keep your inbox properly categorized to avoid any mix later.
Keep your desk clean: yes that probably one of the most impactful point to flaunt your organizational skills is through an organized desk as everyone can see your desk and get an idea of how organized you are.
Being organized at work will help you sail through all kind of workplace pressures. It will also help you to increase your productivity and will solidify your image as a serious on the dot professional competent enough to compete all kind of pressures of all the jobs in Pakistan.
