Always factor in travel times and a little extra. This is a great tool to remind your boss of important dates, colleague’s annual leave and any general information they need to know but do not need to action. Agenda / meeting purpose.

To prepare a minute template simply use your agenda and put it in minute format. Under each agenda heading you can then record the appropriate information when you are in the meeting. I use the meeting agenda as an index with each item as a tab number.

I tend to keep my scheduling sheets in chronological order and each morning I go through them to see if there is any action I need to take, i.e. follow up to ask for an agenda or see if I can start scheduling. I dont want to miss a step so always go through the checklist on the travel sheet.

The night before I go to a Board meeting, I review all my templates, agendas, binder, attendance sheets and everything I am going to need or might need. Every time I use a bus ticket, I keep a mental inventory so I know when I need to buy some more and dont show up at the bus stop one morning and Oops! no tickets. Do I have everything?

She had an agenda and was going to let him have it. The longer she couldnt get in touch with him, the angrier she became. When she finally did reach him she started off really nice. "Hi, Hi, how are you?," she said sweetly. Then you could see it progressing downward from there. What happened? Crankiness and bad moods can be passed on.

And that will give you all of the tools and the language to use. So, one of our people, he has a role.

It also makes you a very open person, because the next traveller you meet might just point you to the next great thing you can freely visit because no plans are holding you back.
