THE TIP OF YOUR NO'S

THE TIP OF YOUR NO'S

 

A tip for saying no is to be polite, firm and helpful such as, I'm sorry but I couldn't possibly take on another activity at this time. Have you considered contacting the college about their work experience program?

 

FAMILY DAYS

 

If you are a working parent and hard pressed to get quality time with your child, consider a family day together

periodically, such as on the child's birthday, when you can take a day off school and work and spend the day at the park, zoo or some entertainment center.

 

MULTITASKING ON THE ROAD

 

It is reported that 71.4% of the drivers in a study were either eating or drinking while driving. 45.7% were grooming, 40% were reading or writing, and 34% were talking on the cell phone.  Driver inattention is the number one cause of traffic crashes. So it's a costly way of saving time.

 

EAT LIGHT LUNCHES FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

 

People who ate large lunches performed worse than those who had eaten only a sandwich. Alertness and efficiency are at low ebb about two hours after one begins eating lunch.

 

PREVENTING UPWARD DELEGATION

 

You distribute a policy that staff may interrupt you if

a. They have a decision to make that exceeds their authority,

b. They require information that can only be obtained from you.

c. They are really truly stumped.
