First Week on the Job=Success!

Don't hate me.  I know it's been awhile since I've written but this week was incredibly busy.  I had a great first week at my internship and I think it's only going to get better.  I am already busy and I have assignments for the next week due.  I've noticed that since the day goes by, there are several things to accomplish and sometimes it's difficult to A) figure out what needs to get done first and B) Multi-task.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to browse some tips on multi-tasking at work and I came across a great article on Penelope Trunk's blog on how to prioritize at work.  See the article here: Excellent article!

My favorite tip is #9 which is to organize your to-do list everyday.  I've started doing this and it makes things soooo much easier!  With the to-do list, I know that I won't forget anything and it's a way to not feel so overwhelmed by why I need to do.


* Another personal tip of mine that I wanted to add was to BUY A NOTEBOOK!  I've learned that in PR, people are constantly writing things down.  A notebook is a much easier way to organize client information than just a regular notepad.  I'm going to invest in a good one this week!

Well, that's all for now.  But if you have any additional multi-tasking and time management tips PLEASE feel free to comment.

Until next time,

Aly
