Thank you for sharing some really good advice. Working from home would actually save you a lot of time. Quite many people work a much faster and better from home. That would be a really good alternative if you are looking for office time savers.

I too like item six. What a clever and disciplined approach. We often look at discipline and organization as being somewhat controlling, but gee it actually creates more freedom when balanced with other aspects of time saving.

I love #6. I have two books: one in my office, and the other in my purse/briefcase. Those notes go in one of those two books, and I am much more likely to find them.

The true is that people like to waste time. It would not be a problem if they would only waste their time, but, in many cases, they waste other people's time as well. Here is an interesting study that reveals what are the reasons employees waste time at work.

Nice tips. I love scanning documents in. The less paper the better.

I need the extra chair often enough that I have to keep it there.
I just put stuff on it. My laptop bag, my coat, whatever. My coworkers seem to have picked up on the signal that they can only stay and chat if they see me taking the bag off the chair.

Definitely agree to #10. Multitasking is never going to work, at least for me (but keeping focus is soo hard to do…)

You know,I actually removed my guest chair for the reason you mentioned and people kept asking me why I didn’t have a chair. It was kind of hilarious.
