Rather than a To Do pile, this is a special kind of parking system for action-oriented papers, serving as a reminder system to tickle your brain while giving you confidence that you won't forget about worrisome, detailed or important issues requiring action. I set up recurring appointments for things like bookkeeping or marketing.

Our organization uses Google Apps for our e-mail, calendar and cloud solution. Unlike traditional e-mail, Google Apps utilizes labels instead of a folder system for e-mail sorting and storage. If there is a task involved, then schedule it in your calendar or put it in your task list. Lovin' Those Labels! For storage 2.

  Yet, we try to do it all of the time by putting systems in place that don’t match our personal or our organizations’ styles. There are some that think that one system should work for everyone.    Understanding your style and developing systems that fit with who you are sets you up for success. .

It led me to create one of my favorite checklists ever – a four page travel planning checklist that I still use to this day. Check/review calendars for today: (executive’s name).
