Spotted this useful article in the Guardian's Work supplement at the weekend. Here are a few pointers, but if you have time, read it in full.
DO
- Question whether the work involved is to your advantage
- Go back to working a 40 (or 35 - whatever's in your contract) hour week
- Come up with clever ways to say no
DON'T
- Go to meetings you don't need to be at
- Try to do everything
- Discuss work with people face-to-face or over the phone (it's easier to say no by e-mail)
