WEEK #402

(One Question.)

Nikki asks: Are you a list-maker? Do you use post-its/paper/handphone??

[Sorry - I think I got carried away on this answer!!]

I do like checklists and excel spreadsheets, particularly for work. I have created checklists to help all of us cover all tasks needed for each real estate closing. I have created checklists to help my assistant when handling law files.

Every six months or so I do an updated excel "To Do Task List" for my open law cases and probates. I probably should do a daily or at least weekly list - but I don't. I no longer use post-it notes for file communication. Instead, I start with a blank page on the outside of the file and we date notes to keep track of actions needed and done.

On a not so 'business' front I keep several list of books - one per year 2015 to 2020 for audios purchased plus one for audios under 10 hours; a current year list for NetGalley and for Alphabet; an current year excel list for monthly reading; and a current tracking list of monthly postings.

I also keep a very detailed excel spreadsheet for stock transactions. (I think I will need this for taxes.) This is helping me see which trades work better and which have larger losses. I am still learning and this has been helpful

For home we have created lists for travel needs: camper, cruise or just car travel. There is also a list for our daughter on how to handle utilities if she is staying in our home or borrowing the RV.

I don't generally keep a list of goals although I know that is highly recommended. It has just never been something I did.

I do use post-it notes to remind me of things to take home or to pick up at the store! I rarely use a phone list except for my prayer lists.

My assistant has strips of notes taped to her desk and occasionally uses post-it notes around her computer. We know one administrator whose computer is covered with post-it notes!

This is something I might do to office staff someday! (They posted our youngest staff member's car for her birthday!)

At the end of each month, I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify them.

Your turn to share. Nikki asks: Are you a list-maker? Do you use post-its/paper/handphone??
