Organization technique
Work has been incredibly busy lately. I work for a small biotech company that is trying to hit it big by finding a new antiviral drug. So lately our VP has been holding us accountable for our time. My normal to do list is set up in my calendar. What it doesn't account for is changes that occur during the day. This is particularly true when the VP calls a meeting in the middle of the day. I usually forget to update my calendar when I leave at the end of the day. It also doesn't list all the little piddly things that I do that add up. I read a blog recently where the guy send an email to himself listing what he did all day. You can start this at the beginning of the day and continually add to it. This works best for me because I am forgetful. Otherwise, you can write it before you leave for the day. I have also added in a to do list for the next day. I am finding that this works really well for me. And I waiting for the day that the VP asks what I do all day and I can forward the email to him. :)
