Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

For paper things that I need to remember to follow up on, I put the letter or document in my Wait Bin (which is a tray for things I am waiting on). That wouldnt work for me because I dont have that many paper documents to bring forward, but I can see it being necessary if you have lots of items. Where can I put this paper? Thats great!

Of course my comments are limited because the subject matter is not my expertise, but he relies on my input and corrections to make the document look good.

I have gotten in the habit of doing this frequently during the day and hardly even think about it until the system shuts down for some reason and then I breathe a sigh of relief when I open the document (by pressing Ctrl + o by the way) and find that I have not lost any of my work. Ctrl + a - Selects the whole document.

Meeting documents: some people have it printed single sided and others double sided. It is very hard to follow along when not all members have the document printed the same way. It is comical watching everyone trying to sort out which way to hold the paper. EST Taking Effective Meeting Minutes Join me for a Webinar Oct.

Many studies bear out that once basic needs (shelter, nutrition, security, adequate medical care, etc.) Besides the temporary high that exercise can confer, its long-term effects on happiness are well documented. The idea that money can buy happiness has been roundly debunked, too.
