Use Outlook tasks instead of postits
Do you use software like Microsoft Outlook or an equivalent? Do you also have post-it notes taped all over your desk? Well shame on you! The next time you grab for that postit pad, type the note into your electronic task list instead. Use this task list to jot down everything including followup calls, little reminders, major projects, and even cues to buy flowers for your significant other. Then review your e-task list each morning to organize your day. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years and now you can’t find a single sheet or scrap of paper on my desk and I gotta tell ya, it feels great. You can do the same; it just takes a little discipline and I guarantee you’ll love the results. No more postits!
