1． Organize your briefcase, putting those items you need quickly and frequently in outside pockets. You will save time and have less fumbling（v. 摸索） while searching for them.
2． Carry a reading folder of articles for those times when you’re waiting at an appointment. This keeps your reading pile under control and reduces the frustrations delays.
3． You can also use waiting time for planning. Even short periods of time can be useful if you focus on something you need to solve.
4． Stay connected with your office. This can save time a number of ways: it eliminates a backed-up voice and e-mail messages; find out when an appointment has been changed; be updated on something you can handle while you are out.
5． Plan your stops as logically as possible. This saves time, money and stress.
6． Prepare envelopes or folders for your business receipts. Organize them by your reporting/claim schedule: weekly, monthly, etc. This ensures they get where they need for reimbursement(n.偿还), tax tracking or record keeping.
7． Have frequently used phone easily accessible, either in written form or an electronic device.
8． Carry a notebook in your briefcase, purse or pocket to capture ideas or messages out of the office. This reduces the number of places for storing random information.
