No matter if you are in a school or public library , here is an easy way to prepare for getting more done the next work day. At the end of each day, I stop what ever I am doing before my quitting time.
If I am working on a specific project, and it is not completed I put the materials needed in a file marked with the project name. I place this file in my to do basket or my file sorter although I am trying to figure out which is the best thing for that.
If I have more than one project , then I will have two folders. I really try not to have more than two things going on at once. The exception is if I have a monthly /yearly project which then I will already have a file going,
The other thing that also helps me if cleaning/ organizing my desk and whatever tools I have used that day.So I will leave with a clean desk and my projects for tomorrow.
Finally I will put in my plan book or my planner, the items that I need to work on the following day. So when I come in the next day , I know just what to do. I usually ask myself- "What is the most important thing I must accomplish tomorrow.
