Personal Productivity Tip:

How to Process Workflow the F.A.S.T. Way

Do not tell me how hard you work.
Tell me how much you get done.
- James J. Ling


How do you process all the information that flows through your office?


To quickly handle the information that flows across your desk (paper, voice mail, meeting notes, email, etc.), make a decision on what to do with each piece of information you receive based on the F.A.S.T. model:

	File	File it if this is reference information you will need later on. (see The 6 Types of Paper Files . . .)
	Act	Act now if you can complete the task in 5 minutes or less.
	Save	Save it on your calendar, or to one of your agenda, task, or project lists.
	Trash	Trash it if this is information you do not need.

Make your work easier, faster, simpler.
