By being a selfstarter - Do not wait to be told to get started on your days work, when you get to your office or job site do not get caught up standing around with other employees once the work day begins. You supervisor does should never have to tell you to get on task.
By being pro-active - If you see something needs to be done or if you know something that needs be done. Do it, do not give your supervisor a chance to tell you that you need to handle a task no matter if it is directly your responsibility or implied. By an implied task I mean one that may not be directly stated in your job title. For example lets say that your trash can at your desk is full or close to being full. No matter if you wait to the end of the day to change the liner or even if it is the custodian's job to do it and they do it at night, go ahead and change the liner and dispose of it in an approved manner at an appropriate time.
By being steady and consistent- Work at a steady pace that allows you to be thorough, yet efficient. Make sure that at the end of the workday you are still being productive. Do not start the day working at a break neck pace only to get tired just after lunch and then start making careless mistakes. Pace yourself and you always be far more productive in the long run.
By being efficient- Make good use of your time. Do not leave your designated work area every-time you need realize you need something. Try to consolidate your tasks. For example you need to use the copier, go to the bathroom, and pull a file from the records room. Do it all in one trip and save yourself what could have been 3 trips away from you designated work area.
