I’m at the time of year where I begin to map out the coming year – not with mind mapping apps 1 , but on my various calendars. My family routinely receives/orders a wall calendar that has photos of our closest relatives on my wife’s side, mainly (and appropriately) featuring the kids. It’s decluttering time. MacBook Air.

By firmly implementing this one thing, expecting everyone to block think time in their calendar before every meeting, most organizations can cut meeting time by 50% or more. As a result, if the person who called the meeting hasn’t put out a clear agenda, or verbally told you what the purpose is, you need to contact him or her and ask.

Here are some ideas: Daily Calendars Technology is not perfect and neither are humans. It is easy to place a wrong time or wrong date on a calendar. Or because so many leaders are independent, they place events on their own calendars and forget to inform their administrative partner. Consolidate emails/list.

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. If you are not reaching your business goals, if your business is not as profitable as you would like, if you are not spending time in your personal life like you would want, if you are not achieving your vision, then why is your calendar and to-do list so full? Why are you so “busy?”

When most of our days are filled with meetings, emails, errands, and chores, it can be a relief to sit back and make all those mundane tasks look pretty on a piece of paper. She also has agendas where, if you want to, you can print and build your own papers.)

Once a date is finalized I put it in my bosss calendar and confirm the meeting with the other participants. Another benefit to writing it down is if your boss asks you to cancel it or to quickly tell you when the meeting is, you can look at the sheet rather than trying to search for it in your calendar. Minute taking made easier.
