I’ve worked with many clients over the years who have wanted me to help them set up their client scheduling system — whether it’s creating a system for existing clients or one for booking strategy sessions. Getting clients to self-schedule is such a HUGE time-saver as it eliminates the back and forth of emails.

Participants do have to concentrate on a conference call so think about the time of day when your manager seems particularly focused. Do ask if they are in a different time zone to you.

Bring Forward System or Using Tasks in Outlook Have a system to follow up on items your boss has asked you to do or things you know you need to do. I love this system and at the end of each day I go through my folder and pull out what I need for the next day. I also use Tasks in Outlook to follow up on electronic items.

Hopefully, not too many of you were affected by the email system outages yesterday. It’s a reminder to all of us that depending on one system alone works fine, right up until the time that it doesn’t. In this case, commercial email services were affected, but the next time it could be your server at work.

However, managing a remote team requires a framework that needs to allow for all team members across different time zones to collaborate effectively. A simple solution to this problem is to use a project management system that helps capture all your ideas in one place. Trello allows us to manage all our tasks in one place.

Creating a filing system can be tricky, as you need to know exactly how to file your files and what type of information you would need to be able to access quickly. One of my readers asks: I am trying to organize a file room based not on traditional alphabetical filing, but on a retrieval system. as you mentioned in your question.

There are just too many passwords to remember, and that doesnt include my bosss passwords that I also need to know because I have to check his emails as well as my own. Thank goodness I get three tries to pick the right one before the system locks me out. The first time it doesnt work, I assume I entered it wrong so try again.
