It gives you something to look at when you arrive the next morning and lets you know how to get busy right away. Check: Are phone calls planned? For each one, write down what you hope to accomplish with the phone call to help you stay focused. Check: How much paper is cluttering your desk? 411 Look Up 411.ca

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get someones assistant on the phone or receive an email from them. If I hear from the assistant I know I am going to get answers and the process of setting up a meeting will go smoothly, but should I try to develop a working relationship with them? They are a valuable resource and I appreciate them.

I can interact where I am now, but I have to get up and go if I want to speak with someone and then when I get there I may find they are busy or on the phone so I have wasted my time. Because I dont have the interaction that I had in the open space, I am not sure who to ask or who would know how to do it in a more efficient way.

I am sure after that call her husband got off the phone and kicked the dog or was cranky with a sales clerk at the grocery store. It ended up that the phone lines were down because of a thunderstorm in town and he had been trying to reach her since early that afternoon. What happened? Crankiness and bad moods can be passed on.

Even if you phone the bank they need your secret passcode or they wont speak to you about your account. Sometimes I say to them, "Just give me a hint, how many digits are there in the password, then I will know which one I used?" We have a password for the automated bank machine and if you bank online you have another one for that.
