After completing studies, we all are desperate to get a job. But, after getting job, we all have an unknown fear about the workplace.

When I got my joining date, I was very happy. But as the date came nearer, I was a bit nervous. Many questions occupied my brain like how will be the atmosphere of the office, will I be able to adjust with the colleagues, will I be able to work well and completer targets, etc.

When I joined the office, on the first day at office, I was little tensed till got acquainted with the workplace and co-workers. But once as days passed, I became comfortable with all. And today love my work and workplace.

What’s your first job experience?

I am basically still working in my first-job, but in a new department now. I will write about my experience in my first department.

After completing my studies, I had a hard time finding a job. I didn’t want to sit around at home, so I took a position with a Temp-Company. They were able to find me a job quickly in a prestigeous bank. I worked as an Assistant to the CEO.

I came in at about 10am on the first day (was at the Temp-Company before, getting all my papers signed) and my boss welcomed me with open arms. He shook my hand, introduced me to my colleague and the other CEO. He showed me where my desk was and told me that my colleague would help me get started. She was very helpful and I sat next to her for the morning and just watched what she did.

At lunch my boss and the other CEO invited me to lunch. I was so nervous, I could hardly eat a thing! We were gone for about 1-1.5 hours and just talked about the company, my studies, etc.

After lunch my boss took me on the tour of our floor. Introduced me to everyone, showed me where the kitchen was, how the coffee machine worked, where the copy machine was, all that good stuff.

My colleage left at 3pm, so I had some time to myself to figure out the new computer system and just look around. My day ended at 5.30pm.

My Working Day — Рассказ на английском

«My Working Day» — один из базовых топиков английского языка наряду с темой About Myself. Рассказ о своем распорядке дня логично переплетается с грамматической темой Present Simple, ведь все, что мы делаем в течение дня происходит на регулярной основе. А это и есть одно из самых популярных кейсов употребления данного времени английского языка.

Для составления рассказа про свой рядовой распорядок дня вам понадобится специальная лексика, которую можно выучить с помощью карточек.

Ниже приведены несколько примеров сочинений My Working Day для разных групп учеников.

Пример 1. Для начальной и средней школы

I usually get up at 7 o’clock on weekdays. I make my bed, open the window and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash my face. If I have enough time, I take a shower. Then I go back to my room where I dress myself and brush my hair. 10 minutes later I have breakfast.

After breakfast I take my bag and go to school. As I live not far from school, it takes me only five minutes to get there. I don’t want to be late for the first lesson so I come to school a few minutes before the bell. The lessons begin at eight o’clock in the morning and they are over at half past one in the afternoon.

After classes I go home and have dinner there. After dinner I have some rest, watch TV and play games. Then I do my homework. We have a lot of subjects at school and it takes me about three hours to do my homework. Sometimes I go to the library to get ready for a report. As a rule, I have no free time on my weekdays.

Eight o’clock is the supper time in our family. We all get together in the kitchen and discuss different problems. Twice a week I go to the volleyball class in the evening. At about 10 pm I go to bed.

Перевод

В будни я обычно встаю в 7 часов. Я застилаю постель, открываю окно и делаю зарядку. Потом иду в ванную, где чищу зубы и умываюсь. Если у меня достаточно времени, принимаю душ. Затем я возвращаюсь в комнату, где одеваюсь и расчесываюсь. Через десять минут я завтракаю.

После завтрака я беру портфель и иду к школы. Поскольку я живу недалеко от школы, чтобы добраться туда, мне нужно только 5 минут. Я не хочу опаздывать на первый урок и поэтому прихожу в школу за несколько минут до звонка. Уроки начинаются в восемь часов утра и заканчиваются в полвторого.

После уроков я иду домой и обедаю. После обеда я немного отдыхаю, смотрю ТВ и играю в игры. Потом я делаю уроки. В школе мы изучаем много предметов, и подготовка домашнего задания занимает около трех часов. Иногда я иду в библиотеку подготовиться к докладу. Как правило, в будни у меня не остается свободного времени.

В нашей семье восемь часов — время ужина. Мы все вместе собираемся на кухне и обсуждаем различные вопросы. Дважды в неделю вечером я хожу играть в волейбол. Я ложусь спать около 10 часов вечера.

Вариант 2. Для старшеклассников и студентов

I am very busy on my weekdays. My working day begins early in the morning. My studies starts at 8 о’clock, so I have to get up at 7 to be ready for it. I never wake up myself, my mother always wakes me up. Sometimes I do my morning exercises, then I rush to the bathroom. I clean my teeth, wash my face. The cold water makes me feel not so sleepy. Then I go back to my room, make the bed. I switch on my radio, put on my clothes, comb my hair, put a little makeup. By that time my breakfast is ready (my mother cooks it for me).

At a quarter to eight I grab my bag and rush to my school/University. Usually I have six or seven lessons a day, it lasts till 3 o’clock. After each lesson there is a break, so I can talk to my friends or eat my sandwich. After classes I go home. First of all, I need to walk my dog. Then I have my dinner and a little rest.

The teachers give us a lot of homework, so I start doing it about 16.30 or 17.00. As a rule, it takes me two or three hours to do my home assignments.
My parents get home at about six o’clock. We watch soap operas on TV, have supper together. We discuss the news, I tell about the lessons and school.
After it, I help my mother to do some work about the house — wash dishes, sweep the floor, clean the room.

Twice a week in evenings I play tennis. When I do not go to play tennis, I stay home and watch TV, listen to the music, read magazines. Sometimes my friends call me and we go for a walk. At eleven o’clock, tired after a long working day I go to bed and fall asleep.

Перевод

В будние дни я очень занята. Мой рабочий день начинается рано утром. Мои занятия начинаются в 8 часов, так что мне надо вставать в 7, чтобы быть готовой вовремя. Я никогда не просыпаюсь сама, меня всегда будит моя мама. Иногда я делаю утреннюю зарядку, а после нее мчусь в ванную. Я чищу зубы, умываю лицо. От холодной воды я чувствую себя не такой сонной. Затем я возвращаюсь в свою комнату и застилаю постель. Я включаю радио, одеваюсь, расчесываюсь, слегка подкрашиваюсь. К этому времени мой завтрак готов (его мне готовит мама).

Без четверти восемь я хватаю мою сумку и несусь в школу/Университет. Занятия начинаются в восемь, а я не люблю опаздывать.
Обычно у меня шесть или семь уроков в день, которые продолжаются до трех часов. После каждого урока есть перемена, так что я могу поговорить с друзьями или съесть свой бутерброд. После того как занятия заканчиваются, я иду домой. Прежде всего мне нужно погулять с собакой. Потом я обедаю и немного отдыхаю.

Учителя задают нам много домашней работы, так что я начинаю выполнять ее около 16.30 или 17.00. Обычно у меня уходит два-три часа на выполнение домашней работы. Мои родители приходят домой около шести. Мы смотрим мыльные оперы по телевизору, вместе ужинаем. Потом обсуждаем новости, я рассказываю об уроках и школе. После этого я помогаю моей маме по дому: мою посуду, подметаю пол, убираю квартиру.

Дважды в неделю по вечерам я играю в теннис. Когда я не хожу играть в теннис, то остаюсь дома и смотрю телевизор, слушаю музыку или читаю журналы. Иногда мои друзья звонят, и мы идем гулять. В одиннадцать часов вечера, уставшая после долгого трудового дня, я ложусь в постель и засыпаю.

Вариант 3. Для взрослых

On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.30 and my working day begins. I’m not an early riser, that’s why it’s very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. I switch on my radio and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower, clean my teeth and shave. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed.

Usually my wife makes breakfast for me. But when she is away on business or just doesn’t have to get up early, I make breakfast myself. While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the radio.

I leave home at 7.30 and go to the nearest underground station. After earning a degree in logistics, I took a position in a retail distribution center as an assistant manager. It takes me an hour and a half to get to work. But I don’t want to waste my time on the train. I’ve got a small MP3 player and I listen to different texts and dialogues in English. Sometimes I read a book and retell it silently. If I come across an interesting expression I try to memorize it.

I usually arrive at work at ten minutes to nine though my working day begins at 9 sharp. There are always some emails to translate from English into Russian. Sometimes my boss wants me to discuss working issues with our business partners abroad. There are also a lot of phone calls which I have to answer.

At 1 o’clock in the afternoon we have lunch. We usually have lunch in a small cafe just round the corner. At 2 o’clock we come back to work. And we work hard till 5 o’clock. During the working day we also have several short coffee breaks. But sometimes we have no time for them.

I come home at about 7 o’clock in the evening. My family members are usually at home, waiting for me. We have dinner together. Then we sit in the living room, drink tea, watch TV or just talk. Occasionally I have to stay at work till 6 or even 7 o’clock in the evening. When we have a lot of things to do we go to work on Saturdays. So by the end of the week I get very tired. All I can do on Sundays is to sleep till eleven o’clock, watch television, listen to music and read something in English.

And still I always look forward to my next working day because I like my job. I think I get a lot of useful experience.

Перевод

По рабочим дням будильник будит меня по 6,30, и начинается мой рабочий день. Я не люблю вставать рано, поэтому для меня очень трудно встать с постели, особенно в зимний период. Я включаю радио и делаю утреннюю гимнастику. Потом я иду в ванную, принимаю теплый душ, чищу зубы и бреюсь. После этого я иду в спальню, чтобы одеться.

Обычно жена готовит мне завтрак. Но когда она в командировке или просто ей не нужно рано вставать, я делаю завтрак себе сам. Во время завтрака я слушаю новости по радио.

Я ухожу из дома в 7,30 и иду до ближайшей станции метро. Получив диплом по логистике, я получил должность в розничном распределительном центре в качестве помощника менеджера. Мне требуется полтора часа чтобы добраться до работы. Но я не хочу тратить свое время в пустую в поезде. У меня есть маленький МП3 плеер и слушаю разные тексты и диалоги на английском. Иногда я читаю книгу и пересказываю ее молча. Если я встречаю интересные выражения, я стараюсь запомнить их.

Я обычно прихожу на работу в 8:50, хотя мой рабочий день начинается в 9. Всегда есть несколько имейлов для перевода с английского на русский язык. Иногда мой босс хочет, чтобы я обсудил рабочие моменты с деловыми партнерами за рубежом. Бывает также множество телефонных звонков, на которые я должен ответить.

В 1:00 дня мы обедаем. Мы, как правило, обедаем в небольшом кафе за углом. В 2 часа мы возвращаемся на работу. Мы упорно работаем до 5 часов. В течение рабочего дня у нас также есть несколько коротких перерывов на кофе. Но иногда у нас нет для них времени.

Я прихожу домой около 7 часов вечера. Члены моей семьи, как правило, дома и ждут меня. Мы вместе ужинаем. Потом мы сидим в гостиной, пьем чай, смотрим телевизор или просто говорим. Иногда я должен задержаться на работе до 6 или даже 7 часов вечера. Когда у нас много работы, мы выходим и по субботам. Таким образом, к концу недели я очень устаю. Все что я могу делать по воскресеньям — спать до 11:00, смотреть телевизор, слушать музыку и читать по-английски.

А еще я всегда с нетерпением жду следующего рабочего дня, потому что мне нравится моя работа. Я думаю, что получаю много полезного опыта.

Best of Both Worlds: How to Organize Your Day at Work Two Ways

Posted by Guest on December 2, 2020

Published on December 2, 2020

Are you frequently rushing around trying to make it somewhere or catch a deadline? If you feel that you are constantly running late, unable to keep up with your obligations, then you should think of scrutinizing the way you go about planning your work and leveling up on your organization skills.

Without proper organization, you won’t be able to enjoy a full and balanced day (and perhaps even lifestyle). You might also suffer from a lack of motivation and mood shifts. And that doesn’t sound very appealing at all.

But, the question is, how do you improve your daily planning? With so many tips and tricks all over the Internet, it can be difficult to decide which ones are going to be effective. And, with all the stress during your day, you may find it hard to set out a good time for starting.

Don’t worry, we got you covered. This article contains two great methods for planning your time, as well as tips to be organized and pointers on how to organize your day to be more productive. This can help you get started and lead you every step of the way!

How to Organize Your Day: Most Effective Methods

There are different approaches to organizing your day. We’ve taken two prominent approaches, one of which is very popular, too. Using both, you can manage your work hours, taking into perceptive your entire day.

Method #1: Getting Things Done (GTD)

Then you need to take a few pointers from David Allen, the creator of GTD, and learn how to organize your work tasks (and all other tasks) the right way!

The GTD task management system is based on a simple truth: the more tasks you have on your list, the more difficult it gets for you to decide what needs attention. This also throws the hype around to-do lists straight out of the window as they might force you to spend more time thinking about your tasks than doing them. As a result, you may end up being stressed out and overwhelmed.

Allen noticed that the human brain is much better at processing information than storing it and he put this essential detail into the GTD methodology, by which it should help you get rid of all the mental clutter and get things done on time. It involves setting up a workflow, and once you do that, you’ll be able to identify the tasks you should be working on at any given moment, without worrying that you’ll forget something.

The GTD method consists of five simple practices that will help you systemize the clutter in your brain and organize your day:

GTD requires learning how to plan and organize upfront. But, it will definitely pay off in the long run. With this method, you’ll never have to worry about missing a meeting or forgetting a deadline. Instead, you’ll have all your tasks sorted out and you’ll be able to prioritize your time properly.

Now, let’s examine each practice in detail!

Step 1: Capture

The first and the most important step to GTD is to stop storing all the info and your daily tasks in your brain. Instead, capture and store all your to-dos, ideas, tasks in an “inbox” — a physical notebook or digital app, such as a planner, calendar, or a task management app.

By capturing your thoughts, you’ll finally be able to decrease the mental clutter. Don’t worry about organizing these tasks and items yet! We’ll come to that in one of the following steps.

Tip: When you’re just starting with GTD, it is recommended to write down anything that you might need to take care of in your future and store it in your inbox.

Step 2: Clarify

Now we come to the part where you learn how to organize your workday and sort everything out in your inbox. Go through each item in your inbox and apply one of the following methods to it:

Always make sure to add as much information to your tasks as possible and make your tasks actionable.

Step 3: Organize

After writing down all your tasks and adding as much info as possible, it’s time to sort them out. There are numerous ways to organize your tasks with the GTD method, but the most common one is using a combination of projects and labels, like in Todoist or Asana.

You need to separate items into one-off tasks and projects. According to the GTD philosophy, a project is any task that requires more steps to complete. Make sure to write down your next steps for each task and add a due date (if there is one). For example, in Asana, this step would be reflected in creating a task card and subtasks within it.

Step 4: Review

This step is quite self-explanatory. Set aside time each week to look over all your tasks, cross off everything you completed, add and organize new tasks, and identify next actions. Allen calls this step a “critical factor for success.” Constant reviewing and updating of your tasks will ensure that you’re not just getting things done. You’re getting the right things done.

Step 5: Engage Step

This is the part when all the time you set aside for planning your work pays off. By this step, you should have developed a system full of actionable tasks that are organized into logical categories.

So when you start work, you won’t find yourself wondering “What should I do next?”. You took that thinking out of the picture by getting all your tasks on physical or digital paper and arranged them into an actionable plan. To top it off, you got rid of all the mental clutter that has been stressing you out.

6: Save and Share

After finishing a task, keep track of it and share the information with other teams. This will avoid silos in between teams, where all teams only focus on their tasks without having direct access to the other teams’ progress. The creation of a knowledge base where everyone in the company can learn what you have been working on, the conclusion you have made, and the next steps will benefit everyone while helping you monitor the progression of your tasks.

GTD Tools

Here are a few more tips to be organized and GTD tools that will help you get the hang of this method faster.

GTD Lists

To get started with GTD you need to clarify and organize your tasks efficiently. The best way to do that is by making lists, either on paper or by using task management software on your phone or laptop. There are several types of lists you can make:

Calendar

The calendar is great for all those tasks that are time and date sensitive. This way, you’ll be able to prioritize your tasks better. The tasks that don’t need to be done soon will stay on your “next actions” list, so you can deal with them later on. If you don’t like keeping a calendar on your wall or desk, then you should try using Google Calendar to stay organized.

Read/Review Folder

It’s quite likely that you will have several “read [something]” tasks on one of your lists. A read/review folder will come in handy for such cases. It can be a physical or digital folder that will contain all the documents, papers, or books you need to read. The idea behind this folder is to always have this material available to you when you have a few minutes to kill while waiting for your food or at the doctor’s office.

GTD is a productivity methodology that can transform your life from a chaotic mess into a balanced and fulfilled lifestyle. GTD will help you organize your work tasks as well as the rest of your day since this also affects how well you do your work.

Method #2: The Da Vinci Schedule

The Da Vinci Schedule is the second method that will help you learn how to plan and organize more efficiently. Developed by Adrian Iliopoulus, this method will allow you to create schedules that will make your life more purposeful, fun, and creative.

The main idea behind the “Da Vinci Schedule” is to learn how to:

Did you know? It takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back on track once interrupted.

The Da Vinci Schedule can help you make sure that you’re not overwhelmed by work as it curates your daily activities in a way where you have distinctive time for harder and easier tasks, but also enough time for relaxing activities every day.

How to Organize Your Day with the Da Vinci Schedule

Many people suggest you start planning your week on Monday but is it the best idea? The creator of the Da Vinci Schedule recommends starting planning on Sunday evening. As he pointed out, Monday is the equivalent of the early hours in the morning, but for the week. Our minds are always rested in the morning and can deliver greater productivity. The “early hours” for the week are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. So, to take advantage of these days, you should plan your tasks on Sunday.

As Adrian points out, the trickiest part of planning is prioritizing. He recommends that you should be honest with yourself and carefully categorize tasks according to their importance and to the amount of work you need to do to complete them.

Here is how Adrian’s daily and weekly schedule looks like.

As you can see, every day consists of the same elements:

Now, let’s explain each one in more detail.

Morning Routine

Deep Work

Deep work is divided into two categories — hard work and soft work. Hard work refers to all tasks that you find challenging, whereas soft work is all those tasks that are easier to carry out. Make sure to do deep hard work from Monday to Wednesday, and soft work on Thursday and Friday.

Admin Work

Admin work includes tasks such as replying to emails, scheduling and attending meetings, document organization, ordering supplies, etc. It is important to calculate how much time these tasks take to complete, so you can set aside time for them each day.

Exercising, Social, and Play

To prevent burnout, you need to set aside time every day so you can relax, spend time with your friends and family, and play. Play means doing all the activities that please you, from literally playing to watching movies or reading a book.

The Da Vinci Schedule is a bit different from the GTD method, as it encompasses the entire day and allows you to create a daily routine. However, this method doesn’t tackle organizing tasks in much detail during your workday, which GTD does. So by combining the two methods you’ll be able to create a system of organizing your entire day in a more balanced way, where you get things done in the time reserved for work and relax in a morning routine and playtime to ensure you don’t burn out.

5 Simple Tips to Better Organize Your Workday

If you don’t fancy the two methods, here is more advice on how to organize work tasks.

1. Write

Take 5-10 minutes at the end of your workday to write in a journal and evaluate the day. There is so much going on in our heads that it’s almost impossible to process and gather thoughts without some form of outlet. At the end of the workday, most want to run for the hills—and by doing so—bring their work and associated stresses home with them. A study by UCLA psychologists revealed that by verbalizing your feelings—whether you speak to someone or write them down—will help ensure any associated negative emotions are much less intense. So, instead of bringing any anger or stress home with you, leave it behind in your notepad.

On top of that, by writing down specific challenges you’re facing, your subconscious mind will get to work on coming up with corrective solutions while you sleep at night so you can wake up fresh and motivated to tackle the day.

2. Plan ahead

Now that you’ve released all anger and frustration, you’re in a position to plan the day ahead to increase the likelihood of it going smoothly. Take out another notepad (or use Clickup’s digital Notepad feature) and write down your tasks for tomorrow in order of importance, and leave the office knowing your subconscious will take care of the rest and ensure you’re way ahead of yourself when you arrive for work tomorrow.

If you are someone who relies on their computer to stay organized, then you can start your planning phase by using a daily free planner template. Simply customize it to your needs and save yourself a few hours to put into your other tasks.

Challenges and distractions will always arise so be realistic in your goals—and if you fall short—don’t beat yourself up. Just make sure to bump it to the top of tomorrow’s list.

3. Declutter your workspace

A cluttered workspace = a cluttered mind. If your desk is a mess, how can you expect your workday to flow without unwelcome distractions? Organize your desk similar to how you would like to organize your mind: free from clutter and distractions.

Same goes for your desktop. Keep your desktop clutter-free to easily work your way through your tasks including your email.

4. Don’t multi-task

According to a study by the University of California Irvine, it takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to a task once you’ve taken your concentration away from it. So, when you set out to complete a task, be sure to free yourself from all distractions. That means no social media, email, internet, etc. until the task is complete or the allotted time to work on it has passed. Use a timer, and start off with one hour of uninterrupted work. If the ambient noise is too much, play some music to wash away distractions and help you focus. Tell your colleagues what you’re doing and ask them not to disturb you unless it can’t wait.

5. Trust the 80-20 rule

Most of what we do is not that important, but because it’s easier, and can provide us with that instant hit of dopamine, we have a tendency to spend too much time on simple tasks while procrastinating on the more demanding, important ones. This creates an unnecessary struggle. By tackling the more important stuff first, when it comes to completing the other less meaningful tasks, you will be able to do so with a greater sense of accomplishment and contentment.

6. Manage your email

Email is a messy business, and like many other tasks is rarely urgent. Take time to organize yours so when you do go in there, everything is running efficiently and organized in terms of importance. Email desktop clients like Mailbird (Windows) or Airmail (Mac) are great tools for this and come in handy especially for people that have to manage multiple email accounts.

Declutter your email with Mailbird. Give it a free try now.

Conclusion

By applying these simple tips to better organize your day at work, you will experience a range of benefits to help ensure you leave your work at work, get out on time, and sleep at night. Unless tasks are of the utmost importance, don’t take your work home with you. That time to decompress, have fun, and do what you love is just as important as the time required to pay the bills. You will most likely meet resistance from yourself starting out, but if you stick to this, in time, you will see your productivity and quality of work go up as well as your quality of life. A win-win for everybody.
