4. It's Time to Get Organized
Start scheduling your days
and consider your priorities.
What's a priority?
What needs more time?
What can be reasonably achieved?
How much time is needed to complete each
task?

5. Learn to Say "No"
... but Stay Positive!

6. I don’t have time at the moment, but can I work that into my schedule
and get it over to you at a later date?”
“I understand this is a priority. Is it possible to reschedule one of my
current tasks to make room for this request?”
“I’d love to assist. However, I’m currently working on a project and won’t
be able to give the task my full attention. Is it possible to find another
team member who can assist?
Consider
Your Response
hmm...

7. Equip Yourself with the Right
Organizational Tools
Evernote
TeamworkPM Google Drive

8. Take Notes
that Make Sense!

9. Make sure your notes are relevant. Do they tie into a goal?
Do your notes make sense to you? If they don’t, how is your team
going to understand what needs to be done? Make it simple and clear.
Organize your notes. Have separate tasks and requests tied to a
specific goal rather than creating a long list.
Live in the moment. As soon as you’ve finished with your meeting,
prepare your notes and communicate them to the team. You’ll be
fresh out of a meeting and will have a better attention to detail.
