act with a sense of urgency When acting with urgency, consider what’s on your plate! Always try to complete a project before starting a new one. There is no advantage to having 10 open items without closure on any. If a task or project can be completed in an hour, get it done in an hour. That said, don’t take all day or let it languish while you work on a more work-intensive, long-term project. Tisk, Task. Biting off more than you can chew? Remember when multi-tasking was uber cool? Well, times have changed. Some studies site that too much multi-tasking can be counterproductive (you urgently want to avoid that!). The most productive people decide what is urgent and needs to be completed now, prioritize other items, and don’t bite off more than you can chew!
