    Planning and organization makes efficient use of your time at the office by keeping you focused
    from beginning to completion of a project. A comprehensive plan for work activities and projects
    ensures you tackle all necessary steps for success. Organizational tools allow you to track the
    planning progress for the activity. An organizational plan also facilitates collaboration and
    information sharing with other team members who play a role in the completion of the activities.
    Tweaking your organizational method allows you to create the most effective planning system
    for your office.

    Step 1

    Identify the scope and goals of the planning process related to each work activity. Determine
    what you need to accomplish for the success of the activity or project. Identify the employees
    who will play a role in the task if it is a team project.

    Step 2

    Break down the major tasks for the activity into smaller steps that you need to take for
    completion, essentially creating a to-do list for the project. If other employees are working on the
    tasks with you, assign each person a role and specific responsibilities to divide the workload.

    Step 3

    Establish the timeline for completing the work activity. Assign each individual task that goes
    into the activity a completion date to make sure everything is completed in a timely manner.
    Give yourself enough time to complete all associated tasks before the deadline passes.

    Step 4

    Write each due date for the project tasks on your calendar, or set up reminders that pop up on
    your computer screen as the deadlines approach.
    Step 5

    Identify potential problems or barriers you may face for the work activities. Create an action plan
    to avoid those issues to keep the project on track.

    Step 6

    Utilize an online project management program for major work activities that are critical to the
    company's success. These programs are particularly effective for complicated projects or
    activities that involve many team members. The progress is tracked and all employees can stay
    updated through the program.

    Step 7

    Schedule planning meetings when active participation and feedback is needed from others
    working on the project. Keep the meetings focused and productive to use the time efficiently.

    Step 8

    Send out regular updates and communication to all other employees who are working on the
    project. This allows all team members to stay informed and update their to-do lists and timelines
    as necessary.
