With full schedules, there are daily problems that will occur and will need immediate attention. This means that other tasks will have to be put to the side. Impromptu meetings, employee absences, employee issues, and other situations can make getting through the workday almost impossible. Staying organized and having a plan for when your time is being used for another purpose are essential if you want to stay on task and complete a project or assignment on time. If leading a team, you will have to know what the other members of the team are working on and when they will be done also. This way, you will be able to delegate additional responsibilities when necessary. The following tips will help you and your team stay on track even when other situations present themselves. ·Invest in a calendar with big blocks so that you can write down not only your schedule, but also your team members schedules. Have a hard copy of this schedule in case the computers are down. No one can predict when the system will crash or when files are erased. A calendar can be used to keep track of projects, assignments, and team member availability. ·Have phone numbers handy in case of emergencies. You should have a place to put these numbers other than on your computer. They should be in some type of order so that you can find the numbers you are looking for quickly. ·Keep files separate. Make sure you file all material in the designated folder. Each day, take out what will be needed and keep it close by. If giving a presentation, have all materials ready to go and in your bag so that you don’t forget anything. You should do this when traveling also. ** To read the full article, [go here.]( ------------------------------------------------------------ *** ARTICLE: The Importance of Networking - Kathy Jo Pollack *** ------------------------------------------------------------ Our current economic state presents us with many opportunities – it’s all about how you choose to look at it. My focus has always been on the basics; taking a moment to look at your foundation with an emphasis on finances. Regardless of where you look, it is all about relationships – your relationship with your money, bank, employer, family, and friends. This brings me to the importance of networking, and the value of forming and maintaining a strong circle of contacts. There is no better time than now to strengthen or build your network. A solid network will serve you well for years to come and will be an additional tool in your toolbox especially during these times of economic uncertainty. Networking includes both internal and external. Internally, be visible at your current job – don’t hide in your office or cubicle. Volunteer for projects and make yourself available. Expand your lunch partners. Meet and talk with new coworkers and continue to communicate with them on a regular basis. Be informed; know where your company is going. You may want to consider brushing-up your skills or broadening your knowledge which leads me to external networking. This can also enhance your current situation. An easy way to do this is by joining a professional organization within your field. Network by regularly attending the meetings, meeting new people, and benefiting from the information and knowledge presented through seminars and speakers. ** To read the full article, [go here.]( ------------------------------------------------------------ *** BOOK REVIEW: Unlimited Memory: How to Use Advanced Learning Strategies to Learn Faster, Remember More and be More Productive - by Kevin Horsley *** ------------------------------------------------------------ Kevin Horsley Broke a World Memory Record in 2013...
