For those of you have been in a shopping mall recently, I'm sure you've noticed the holiday decorations that hit the stores sometime after Flag Day in July. Folders should be labeled "delete," "do it now," "respond today," "schedule a specific time on calendar," "waiting for response," "file it," "someday" and "freedom."

If you’re like many of us, you send out an end-of-year letter with your Christmas holiday cards. This missive exists to inform friends and family of what your household has been up to, but unfortunately, this genre is known for its tedium. Think of it as an early Christmas gift – to yourself. Until then, enjoy.

Tech glitches happen all the time and 2 people controlling one person's calendar is not the easiest thing. Whoever controls the flow of information, controls what happens. Get your boss' personal information now. Names, contact information, relevant data. The fewer cooks in the kitchen, the better.

The encoding stage refers to the process of putting information into memory. The storage stage refers to retention or maintaining information in memory. The retrieval stage refers to recovering information from memory. So hang up the phone, find a quiet place and focus. Stay organized. Try chunking items into smaller groups.

Review last year’s calendar to determine what may come up in the next few months, then meet with your boss about what she hopes to accomplish. You can provide needed information, support, data and resources without your boss asking for it. Instead, offer solutions when you inform her of problems. Respect your boss’s time.

It doesn’t matter whether you use an electronic document system like Eric Mack , or a shoe box in your closet: if you can’t retrieve the information when you need it, the system is not effective. My mother has gotten things done by using heavily annotated paper calendars.

Money/gifts contributions etiquette. When it comes to donating money to causes, gifts, or anything else where a lot of people are also pitching in, don’t be shy to ask how much everyone else is contributing. In the past, one of my executives would burn a CD of holiday music and gave those out. I say this: Me: __’s office.

The cards are all made with recycled paper and you can even include a gift if you like and this company will send it off for you. I recently sent an admin assistant friend a card to acknowledge all the hard work she does every day and included a gift of brownies. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday.

I''ve stopped using Launch Center Pro for most forms of capturing information, and as such don''t really use it to launch any notetaking or writing apps like Evernote or Byword. In my case, that meant removing/deactivating all social networking, communication, and calendar-type apps. That''s where Drafts comes in.

I’m reposting with some update information. Round them all up and transfer their information to something a little more permanent, efficient, and user-friendly. Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive. Or, if you prefer, you can subscribe to my blog posts by e-mail.

A bit tricky to set up, but the most beneficial app to eliminate unnecessary double work to post information. Ideas could include: - shoe care tips - announce/review shoe care products - shoe storage ideas - things to think about when purchasing shoes - a different post on shoe ideas for every holiday, season, or special occasion.

Utilize your calendar to schedule tasks. Sit down at your calendar and block out the time for your tasks. If you need to write/send your holiday cards then look at your calendar and schedule it in. In the calendar. Schedule those activities on your calendar. Don't fill your calendar to the max.
