“Important” tasks matter, and not doing them may have serious consequences for you or others.

Scenario #1You are the court administrator at the municipal court. The court staff is comprised of one full-time judge, two associate judges, one part-time prosecutor, a bailiff, and 4 court clerks. This morning you have arraignments that start at 9 a.m. and you have to attend a budget workshop meeting at 11 a.m. to present your budget to City Council. You know this morning will be busy because there are 100 defendants scheduled to arrive this morning for arraignments based upon the docket that was ran at close of business yesterday.
Your office opens at 8 a.m. and you arrive at work today at 7:30 a.m. Upon your arrival, you received 3 phone calls. Two of your court clerks called in sick. Your judge also called you to inform you that his wife was in a car accident this morning and he is with the hospital with her. The judge has asked you to contact the associate judges to see if one of them is available to cover for him.
When you thought things could not get any worse, you realize that a computer virus has attached itself to the court’s case management software. Your IT department has informed all court staff to shut down their computers until the issue is investigated. For most courts this would not be a big deal; however, your court is a paper-less or paper-lite court and you do not have paper files.
Given the information provided above, how would you prioritize your work day?
28
Scenario #2You are the court clerk at the municipal court. The court staff consists of a full-time judge, a court administrator, 2 court clerks (including yourself), a prosecutor, and a bailiff. You and the other court clerk are responsible for docket check-in; processing payments; providing defendants their options; processing DSC and deferred disposition requests; performing duties in the courtroom; processing jail paperwork; processing warrants; clearing warrants; answering the phones; and responding to email.
Over the weekend the police department conducted a warrant round-up. Officers arrested 30 defendants on Saturday and Sunday. Police Officers also placed door hangers on over 500 hundred residences. Volunteers conducted a warrant call out on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and approximately 800 phone calls were made.
You arrive at work at 7:45 a.m. and pick up the large stack of jail paperwork. You walk back to the office and check the court’s voicemail and there are over 50 messages from defendants who want a call back. At 8 a.m. when you opened the court doors you discovered that there is a line of people (approximately 75 people) holding warrant door hangers who are waiting to check in for court. This is in addition to the other 50 people who were already on the arraignment docket and scheduled to appear in court. You and your co-worker (the other court clerk) look at each other and say, “It’s going to be a long day!”
Given the information provided above, how would you prioritize your work day?
29
Scenario #3You are the court administrator/court clerk at the municipal court of non-record. The court staff consists of one part-time judge, one part-time prosecutor and one full-time court administrator/court clerk.

Last Monday when you arrive at work your judge and City Manager are waiting to speak with you. Your judge joined the U.S. Army National Guard several years ago and has just received orders that she has to deploy oversees next week. The judge will be gone for the next 6 to 9 months. As a result, she has recommended to the City Manager to have you fill in as the presiding judge until she returns. Since you are well educated in criminal law and you know the ins and outs of the office, she believes you would be great. The City Manager also believes this would be a good idea, but wanted to find out if you are interested before approaching City Council with the recommendation. You accept this appointment and it is approved by Council.
Today you officially start your duties as presiding judge and court administrator/court clerk and you will be the only person running the office until you are able to hire temporary help in a few weeks. Given the information provided above, how would you prioritize your work day?

Principles of Good Time Management
31
Principle # 1 – Keep Your Area Tidy
Top Tips for Tidying: Create 3 piles: Keep, Give Away, and Throw
Away Keep Pile – If you need to keep certain things for
your records, or do something with it. If you need to take action on it, then add it to your task list.
Give Away Pile – If you don’t want it, but someone else might be able to use it, and/or it is work that can and should be delegated.
Throw Away Pile – For things that have no value to you or anyone else.

Principle # 2 – Pick Your Moment
Each of us have a time of day that we work better; therefore, it is best to tackle the difficult tasks during this time.
Schedule appropriate times in your day for meetings.
Useful tip… Keep a list of important, but non-urgent
small tasks that can be done in that odd 10 minutes between meetings.
34

Principle # 3 – Do NOT Procrastinate

Principle # 3 – Do NOT Procrastinate (Continued)
If a task is urgent and important do not procrastinate; just do it!
36

13
Principle # 4 – Do Not Try to Multi-Task
The experts say do not multi-task, but this is almost impossible to do in our profession.
Suggestions…try not to do too many things at one time. Block out time in your schedule each day
for “uninterrupted” work. If you are working on a task and are
interrupted, keep track of where you were so that you can go back to it later.
Remember it is okay to say “no”.
37
Principle # 5 – Keep Things in Perspective
When you have too many tasks to do at one time it can be stressful.
Remember to remain calm. If you cannot get
everything on your to-do-list completed before you go home it is okay (as long as it wasn’t due that day).
38
Article: “The Key to Good Time Management”
Principle # 5 – Keep Things in Perspective
Going home and getting rest and/or exercising at the end of your work day may be a better option than meeting a self-imposed or external deadline that may not even matter that much.
