Tips for Multitasking
1. Using computers can be a great way to save time and get many things done at the same time. Windows programs allow you to use more than one program at a time. Get familiar with it.
2. Review the tasks ahead of you before hand, and work on one item at a time. It helps you to prioritize your day. Focus on the most important tasks first, and the less important later.
3. Use your down time to prepare for the next day. This will help you to be more organized at the start of your day, so that you can keep your tasks at a comfortable level, and minimize stress.
4. Having constant access to your employees and clients is invaluable. Cell phones are a must for the successful multitasker. It keeps you in touch with everyone you need to talk to during the course of your day. (remember to start each day with a fully charged battery)
5. The ability to keep calm is a must. Practice relaxation techniques as often as possible. Some of these include deep breathing, warm soaks in the tub, and reading. If you already have great techniques, use them.

You must have knowledge of how lighting works, and have a general idea of what is needed to install light fixtures in areas that do not have them already.
