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. I do make use of new apps like Evernote to keep a track of information. This is still my favourite go to tool for remember everything at work.

I keep one good pen, preferably a fountain pen, for signing documents and a red pen for ticking things off my to-do list. The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. This is kept neatly in an upright plastic magazine rack and I cull out of date information every few months.

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. Too much information.

If you start the minute template ahead of time and fill in as much information as you can, that will help you to be better prepared going into the meeting. You will want to order food if required.

You might find a PDA a tad too 'stale' in the way information is presented. For example, if all you need is a place to store contact information and keep your calendar, that is much different than a system that can prompt you for different types of follow up, keep templates, etc. Are you methodical and a logical thinker?

I open up a Word document and every time I see something in my emails that needs to be taken care of – I put it on that Word list. I’m doing this thing I learned at one of the four other job jumps I did.
