Discard it: If you can do without it, get rid of it
Delegate it: Designate a due date and direct it to a member of your staff
Do it: If it will take ten minutes or less, do it now!
Develop it: Develop an action plan that will ensure it gets done in time
Delay it: If it is not a priority, work at it during spare moments
Deposit it: If the paperwork must be retained for future reference, file it or deposit it in 3-ring binder
