How to Be Effective at Work

The season right-sizing is just starting to cool off, but the stress at work to deliver results is not seeing any signs of abating. A recent study cited in CNN's "How to Leave Work at the Office" claimed that more than 30% of workers take work home just to cope with the work load.
Indeed, there is a better way to achieve career success while "finding the right balance in life", but you will need to decide to not succumb to the pressures of your work and take steps to rise above the situation.
To achieve this, you must first put an end to time-wasting activities. One of the best ways to do this is to hold more effective meetings. Both Seth Godin and Entrepreneur.com give solid advice for making meetings work: Get people to do their homework ahead of time, ban laptops and distracting devices, and remove all chairs in the conference rooms.
Another idea is to end the "busyness" mindset, characterised by plenty of motion without any clear results. Contrary to the intention of busyness, most people caught up in it usually end up with low energy levels and procrastinate at work.
An important thing to watch for, as Stepcase LifeHack warns, is physical and mental burnout. Prevent it early by learning new ways of doing old work and by remembering to give yourself a break.
After you eliminate these self-sabotaging behaviours, it is time to get better at what you do. Lifehacker shows us how to handle the information overload by batching tasks and using software to filter off non-important items from your attention.
Never forget your values and principles and always remember to pay attention to detail, says Stepcase Lifehack, while reviewing the ideas from a book based on Bear Bryant, famous coach and leader figure.
CNN tells us that work-life balance can be achieved by setting clear boundaries for work and home, and by organising and prioritising how your time is spent. The article - angled at parents but clearly applicable to all workers - also suggests forming a support group of people from similar backgrounds to help when challenges become insurmountable.
