Careful organization key to finishing tasks, meeting deadlines NEW YORK (AP) — Many people just can’t seem to get everything done in one day. They may some times feel overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. If you’re one of those people, En trepreneur magazine offers some practical suggestions for making the most of your time: • Keep an ongoing list of pro jects. Experts say making a schedule of projects — and then sticking to it — is the best way to be in control of your time. • Utilize day calendars. Indicate those activities that will or should take place at a specific time, includ ing those that can be done during the week. Keep track of your activities, but remember to maintain some flexibil ity in your schedule and to allow time for unexpected events. Setting aside time for yourself also is impor tant. • Establish priorities. This can be done according to the purpose of the project, its benefit to you and the project’s deadline. Experts say one way to make sure each project is accomplished is to save the more enjoyable ones as re wards for progress made on others. • Eliminate time-wasters. Make a list of those things that waste your time, such as incompetent staff, pro crastination and unnecessary tele phone calls. Remember, good work habits are important. Divide each piece of paper that comes across your desk into one of four categories: “To Do,” “To Pay,” “To Read” and “To File.” Put all the papers in corresponding stackable wire baskets. Then, schedule time to go through these baskets before the piles become overwhelming. Your work place also can be better organized by ordering supplies in adequate quantities and making sure pens, pads and important telephone numbers are within easy reach. One final suggestion: At the end of the day, spend 10 minutes clean ing up. ttudents say blue jeans, sweats, oversized sweaters 'in’ for this fall’s fashion look |(AP) — Oversized sweaters, blue jeans sweats are “in” for the nation’s college ipuses this fall, according to a national 1.
