Do the meeting minutes need to be prepared, printed, collated, staples and distributed to committee members? Can the minutes be handled by an e-mail attachment or better yet, posted to some form of groupware? Now that you’ve pared things down to the essentials, this is the time to look at efficiency.

Considering this task is not the staple part of our profession I can still imagine your answer to be ‘quite often’. Instead of another form of communication. How often do you organise events? Why are you holding an event? Events can be expensive especially if they are for team building or internal training.

I think at the time his position in the company was under threat and to compensate he would try to exert power over me by giving me very menial tasks, for example he would ask me to fill his stapler with staples, which could be quite disrespectful. Can you give me an example of great customer service?

Clearly, e-mail communication has become a staple in the business world and social media is making leaps and bounds as well. The bottom line is that there is a fine line of what is and isn’t acceptable when it comes to our technologically driven forms of communication in the workplace. Can we text an RSVP?

I find it is best to put your to-do list in electronic form and typed in order of top priority. I usually put a subfolder in my project file for the to-do list, or if it is a small project, I staple it to the inside of the folder. It can also be a great accountability tool to keep everyone on track and progressing through each job.

I keep a meeting scheduling form at my desk. I know exactly where I am at with the meeting planning just by looking at the form. It is my junk drawer with clips and staples and just about anything I might need during the day. Meetings - Are you in the middle of planning a meeting? Clean out your desk - My desk drawer is a mess.

It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances. On the outer edges of my desk, I place extra pens, pencils, highlighters, ruler, scissors, tape, tissue, stapler, Post-it notes, staple remover, lotion, hand sanitizer, and an extra phone if possible. Be willing to learn a lot, wear a lot of hats, not complain, and follow their lead.

To paraphrase Ballard, office furniture forms the external constellation of the shape of the organisation and a reflection of its self-image. Of course, iconic chairs have been a staple of the workplace design scene for 100 years, certainly more so than desks.

Collecting business cards or other forms of contact information is only the first step in networking.  Staple the cards into a little notebook, one card per page. .  She'd had good intentions of making connections after the events, but the cards never made it farther than her desk drawer.  Great system that works!

Meeting minutes are a staple of all Board meetings, and many internal company meetings, as they serve as an official written record of a meeting to aid in future decision-making and fill in employees who couldn’t attend. When taken in that context, the term’s true meaning starts to take form. Formally writing the meeting minutes.

No ads, small form factor, inexpensive, easy-to-read in the sun…and I can borrow books from my local library on it as well. I’ve got a Sodastream Jet unit (thanks to Mr. Schechter for the recommendation) and it’s an indispensable kitchen staple at this point. If I’m doing any real long-form or book writing, it’s done in Scrivener.
