One other observation: the better you’re maintaining your system day-to-day, the smaller the impact of unexpected absences. Generally, with a planned absence, I have put systems in place to catch, reroute, defer, etc. It may take time and effort to get things reorganized to move forward, but don’t stop at the end of step four.

Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive. Personally I prefer askSam and (either way) it takes time and effort to implement but for every hour I put into it, it probably saves me four (and reduces stress). We all can find this much time in our schedules. Just a suggestion. I like that idea.

People respond to humans.
