Traveling for Work
MikeGreene | Oct 3 2006
Does someone have a template/checklist they use when traveling? It's a new fiscal year and I'd like to start on the right foot for a change. Usually I cram a sticky with flight information, a sticky with hotel information, a sticky with weather, maybe a downloaded map or two and my travel orders into my organizer. It gets the job done, albeit poorly: I always feel like I've forgotten something vital before I even get to the airport. At a former employment locale, I can remember the Executive Assistants ginning up a one-pager for the Executives with all their pertinent travel data. Sadly, I wasn't an Executive, so I don't have a copy. Lacking a set template (which I'm happy to create), what do you consider essential travel information? Regards, Mike Greene 5 Comments

Hey Mike, I deal in "teachable moments" all the time. So I wonder if it would make sense for you to keep track of the things that you forgot each time you forgot one? For example, if you forgot the phone number of your main contact person, you could add an item to your template that allows you to write such information down when preparing to leave on the next trip. Over time, your template will begin to serve YOU very well. » POSTED IN:
