.© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 16 January, 2010 Calendar "ah ha" I was participating in a Harvard sponsored webinar with my boss the other day. One of the things they recommended to executives was to use their electronic calendar to leave themselves reminders. . -- Wait a minute! I have a similar system with my boss.

This was before we had apps or smart phones or the rise in technology that we have seen over the years. The user can type their notes using the iPad keyboard, add photos, import and annotate PDFs, organise pages and tag each notebook. This is a quick and easy online minute taking system. I also got very bored of writing minutes!

.© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 15 March, 2009 When you need it later: The Bring-Forward System My boss likes me to keep him organized and the way I do that is to have a system to bring forward items, which I then bring to his attention when he needs to see it. The system I use is quite simple and has been around for a long time.

Calendar – For quick reference I have a one sheet per day calendar block on my desk. Files – see my previous blog on my filing system. The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. I use the small post-it index flags all the time as well. . I wasn’t that silly for long!

Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk. Calendars are not just for appointments. Every time I get called into my managers office I grab a pen and my note pad before seeing them.

There are many fantastic systems out there for managing tasks. Often, people fail with their to do system because they simply don't trust that it will work for them. What system or tool do you use? I use a calendar for appointments/activities, not for my to-dos. To Dos Are Done.
