It seems to me that the general thrust of your advice is aimed at fitting in more work into your day,
which is the exact opposite of what I set out to accomplish. I've found that promotions in the organisations I have worked for are often based more on what people are seen to be accomplishing, rather than what they are actually accomplishing. Never ever allow your to-do list to become empty, because that means people will give you more things to do. Much better to let work pile up so you always look busy. I'm in the office 9-5, and I'm paid 9-5, regardless of what I get done.
