Getting Organised
Monday morning is my catch up time, finding out what’s happened since Friday, although I always read emails over the weekend unless they have an “Urgent” tag attached to them in which case I deal with them immediately I leave the others for Monday.
I start by making my “To Do List”, this gives me the basis for the day and the weeks work, although, I usually find that by 1030 I have ripped it up and started again.
As I provide call management for a few clients, Monday can be busy on the phones – by lunchtime I can start to feel a bit schizophrenic – it’s a good job my VOIP phone always reminds me who I am supposed to be before I answer it.
Monday is also the day I check the diaries of the clients to whom I provide diary support, if there are flights being taken that week I check them in, download boarding passes, check their car parking, print fast track passes and make sure they are sitting in the right area of the plane, if they have chauffeurs booked I also drop them a quick reminder email there is nothing worse than having a client sitting waiting at 0400 for a driver who has forgotten about them.
Accommodation and restaurant bookings are also double checked.
I have one client who I provide a weekly meeting sheet for – just to remind him who he is meeting on what day, at what time and where.
Its not bad weather wise today, so I should be able to get a walk around Forfar Loch fitted in before dinner time.
