I have Sticky notes all over my office.\u00a0 I have slips of paper scattered everywhere.\u00a0 I have notepads filled with scratched out notes.\u00a0 All this helps keep me on track, but is often not the most enlightened way of making notations of things that I need to do.\u00a0 It also does not record what I need recorded in a very organized manner.<\/p>\n
I need to get better at this.\u00a0 Any ideas from\u00a0 you would be helpful.\u00a0\u00a0 What are you doing to keep track of the random things that come across your desk every day.<\/p>\n
Here is what I have learned.Keep good notes.\u00a0 I fail at doing this allthe time, but I am try to change my ways.<\/p>\n
Here are the things that I try to include in every little not I jot down…<\/p>\n
Rule #1<\/strong> – Don’t assume you will remember anything.\u00a0 The minute I get done writing a note, I shift gears to another subject or get interrupted.\u00a0 Write it all down.<\/p>\n Name<\/strong> – write down the persons name that the note is about.<\/p>\n Reason<\/strong> – write down the reason for the note.\u00a0 Do you have to do something or deliver something?\u00a0 Do you have to make a call or send an email.\u00a0 Write down the next step you have to do.<\/p>\n Date and time<\/strong> – make a note of the date.\u00a0 If the slip of paper gets shuffled around you may forget when you wrote it.<\/p>\n Phone Number<\/strong> – if you have to call someone – include the number.\u00a0 When you return to the note, you will have it handy.<\/p>\n Group<\/strong> – Make some kind of note as to what group this note pertains to.\u00a0 If you have several areas of responsibility, this might help jog your memory when you get back to the note.<\/p>\n Do you have any ideas about what is needed to keep a good note?\u00a0 Leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have Sticky notes all over my office.\u00a0 I have slips of paper scattered everywhere.\u00a0 I have notepads filled with scratched out notes.\u00a0 All this helps keep me on track, but is often not the most enlightened way of making notations of things that I need to do.\u00a0 It also does not record what I […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-whatever"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caddmanager.com\/CMB\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
