If it is a big project I use a calendar and write down all my required to-dos on the dates I need to get them done to make my deadline. There are different styles of to-do lists and you can use the one that suits your work style and the type of project you are doing, but the main thing is to have one. Are you vague or exact?
When the results were in, I met with the person who administered it and one of the things it showed, other than the fact that I ranked very high in administration, was that I work best on short-term projects where I can see the end in sight. I will have all kinds of energy to work on a project if I know it is ending at one point.
Other than the reality check of the above three items, it was a great way to see how I project myself and how other people see me.

The company I work for has a great attitude toward staff professional development and hiring from within for open positions or new position needs.
But there are some people who don’t need a full-time assistant; they need such services only when they’re on a certain project or burdened with too many short-term responsibilities. And that’s where a virtual administrative assistant can step in to make all the difference. 411 Look Up 411.ca
One office I worked in together sponsored a child as a workplace charity project. We all participated by writing to our sponsored child and contributed money towards supporting her. There are many things we can do as employees to better our world, even while at work. 411 Look Up 411.ca
Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).
Are you willing to take on new projects and new challenges? The answer to all these questions is "we just dont know", but if your company is downsizing there is something you can do to show that you are someone they should keep around? Dont brown nose, but you do want your boss to see you as someone who is not afraid of hard work. Be noticed.
I do however use my Tasks and Reminders in Outlook throughout the day for my own deadlines and projects, but for organizing someone else, this system beats even that for simplicity and it just plain works! If you find some are outdated please let me know so I can remove them from this list. 411 Look Up 411.ca
