Prepare a list

Begin your week with a list of things to do, stay on track with your top priorities throughout the week as more impromptu stuff comes in .

Have a regular work out routine

Being fit keeps your energy levels high and you will feel fresh and positive throughout the day.

This being said means making exercise a priority, not something you do only when you “have the time”.

Remove clutter from your desk

Organize your physical files, stationery as well as your e-mail inbox.

Searching for items is a total waste of time.

Have time lines for each project

Time lines keep you on track of what you have done, where you are at and most importantly where you are headed.

Prioritize

Trying to get everything done at the same time makes you lose focus and you land up doing less, but in more time.

Understand the difference between “Important” and “Urgent” then you should be able to work on your top priorities first.

Good luck!

Besides doing weight training and cardio, the “Bootylicious” singer also likes to hula-hoop. Believe it or not, rocking your body with a weighted hoop can burn around 500 calories an hour and works all major muscle groups especially the stomach, hips and waist.
