The meetings were stress free and I was able to depend on my checklists and templates. Dealing in real time.

  Also, when you come across papers that are date driven, make sure to add an entry to your calendar/planner to remind you to do things.    Why be time-pressed and struggle when you can easily get more done with less stress. .  Read, sort and process your email and snail mail daily.    Avoid backlog.

Get a single notebook and use it to record notes, phone numbers, web addresses, ideas, to-dos, etc. Create a list or binder of regularly referenced material, such as phone numbers, and keep it accessible in a desk drawer. Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive. Just a suggestion.
