4:30 Blues Clues!!!

Yes, it's 4:30pm, moments away from whistle.  You know your at your desk for another half an hour, make the best of it and let it fly by! There may not be time to start a new project, or time to finish one but you can sure make this time work for you.  Here are a few tips.
1) Use this time to answer emails, there is no reason to leave them for tomorrow.
2) Don't forget to update that calendar.  Most time, we may be savy enough to capture on paper all that happens during the day, but the notes are useless if you don't schedule the work being done.
3) Close your eyes for a moment, review your day...Forgetting anything?
4) Clean your office already.  Before you leave, get into the habit of cleaning and straightning your work area.  This will enable you to hit the ground running tomorrow.
5) Review facts, figures, forecasts, plans, budgets, etc... This is the perfect time for that.
6) Take a moment and meet with those under you.  This is another great time for that.  A number of surveys show this is the prime time for hourly employees to be sandbagging.

Small blocks of time like are the perfect opportunity to hone, tweek and hack your workday.  The intention is to create velocity and intention in the workplace.
