Productively Use Early Finishes

  • When you finish work early, use the time to get ahead on tomorrow’s priorities or develop a self-directed project.
  • You can also invest in professional relationships or simply take time to relax and recharge.
INSIGHT

Prioritize Accomplishments Over Hours

  • Measure an honest day's work by accomplishments, not time spent at the desk.

ADVICE

Self-Directed Professional Growth

  • Use extra time to read trade publications or books relevant to your job for professional development.
  • Develop and test concepts for new ideas to present solid plans to your boss, not just vague ideas.
