Time management in the workplace is one of the most important skills you can incorporate into your routine. In many cases your entire career will rest upon your ability to manage your time effectively. Far beyond that however that fact is that you will find your job to be much more satisfying if you aren't constantly struggling with time management issues. Unfortunately this is the one place where there are often the most interruptions to your time management routine-many of which simply cannot be avoided. Despite the necessary interruptions to your work day there are things you can do in order to improve time management in the workplace. The first thing you need to do is take note of where the lost time is going. Many of us find that being connected or 'wired' in at all times proves to be the biggest distraction. Unless your company requires you to have instant messages or text messaging capabilities, disable them during work hours. This is a huge waste of valuable work time and can interrupt the flow of your work (which in most cases is hard to instantly resume).

Consider answering emails at set times rather than answering them as they come in. Checking email takes time, it disrupts you from the task at hand and nine times out of ten it is a matter that does not require immediate attention. You could have coworkers put urgent in the subject line if an email needs immediate attention, otherwise wait until immediately before a break to check your email.

Try scheduling meetings at the very beginning or end of breaks in work. By this I mean that you need to schedule meetings first thing in the morning, just before lunch, just after lunch, or as the last task in your day whenever possible. This prevents these meetings from interrupting your productivity at important times in your workday.

Another great way to improve the management of time at work is to learn to identify the time of day when you are most productive and try to arrange as few interruptions for that time of day as possible. We all have times of day when we seem to be at our best. Our minds are sharp, we are in our element and everything seems to go well around this time every day. This is not a good time for a coffee break or to spend waiting on a meeting. Schedule the most difficult tasks of the day during the time frame whenever possible in order to capitalize on the increase productivity that this time provides.

Look no further than your cell phone. Unless you need your cell phone for work it is in your best interest to simply turn it off during work hours. I know that many of you are rebelling against the very notion but a lot of time gets lost and your work gets interrupted every time your cell phone rings.

There are many ways in which you can improve time management in the workplace. The difficulty often lies in finding the one that works best for you. Other things you can do include the following: set daily and weekly goals, establish a daily routine (if at all possible), and avoid loosing time gossiping around the water cooler. If you incorporate these tips into your work day you will be well on your way in your effort to improve time management in the workplace, making it a happier more productive environment.

If your homes landscape is designed properly it will be a source of enjoyment for your entire family, including your pets. It will enhance your community and add to the resale value of your property.

Landscape design involves much more than placing trees, shrubs and other plants on the property. It is an art which deals with conscious arrangement or organization of outdoor space for human practicality and enjoyment.

 Planning the Home Landscape

Some of its major goals include:

• Organizing and developing the site for maximum use and pleasure.

• Creating a visual relationship between the house and the site.

Worldwide, people spend tremendous amounts of money landscaping their businesses, homes, streets, parks, schools, etc. Much of this money is wasted, however, because of little or no planning. People cannot understand how to landscape until they know why they landscape.

There are several reasons why people landscape: some think it improves the appearance of their place; others like to grow plants; still others just want their place to look pretty. Too often these landscapes dominate rather than serve. Masses of plants or other materials in the landscape may take up a large portion of the space and leave little room for people. So how does the designer arrange space so that people will find it useful, beautiful, meaningful and functional? Methods include:

• Observing and analyzing the habits of the people who will be using the space, including their needs, desires and how much space each of their activities requires.

• Studying past landscaping methods.

• Surveying available materials to solve design requirements.

The ecology of the site should be carefully analyzed since it is important in determining the design. Not all landscaping improves the appearance of a building. The work of an insensitive designer can subdue a building, conceal important features or contradict the architect's intent. Good landscape design can significantly improve the building's appearance by adding warmth, liveability and personality. It can also relate a building to its site and environment and give it the desired degree of dominance. Growth and change separate landscape designs from other arts. Most works of art such as architecture, sculpture and painting look their best when new. Landscape designs, however, are at their worst when new and improve with age. A well-designed landscape will seldom look the same any two months of the year. The urge to begin planting immediately is almost overwhelming.

Whether you are landscaping a newly-built home or redesigning an existing landscape, the results will be much more satisfying if you plan first. If you follow the steps provided in this manual you can produce a plan that will result in a satisfying landscape.

The Base Plan

To begin, you will need to draw a base plan to scale. For most properties a scale of 1/8"=1' is workable; for small properties or a particular area of a larger development 1/4"=1' may be better. Graph paper with lines indicating a particular scale may also be helpful. You should include all the major features of your property on your drawing such as existing walks, terraces, outbuildings, trees, shrubs, drives, property lines, easements, utilities, etc. After you have prepared the base plan you can place tracing paper or tissue paper over the original plan to sketch possible ideas and solutions to your landscape needs and problems.
