Reminders (or 'don't like post-its')
SteveC | Jan 12 2007
Does anyone have any suggestions for replacing the post-it stuck to the monitor for reminding you of something? My specific issue is that my boss has asked me to put summaries on my audit reports to him. I suppose I average about one such report a week, but they're erratic. The form we have to complete doesn't mention summaries (there's a comment box where I'm supposed to put them, but it's called something else). The software we have to use is very clumsy (it doesn't help that our workflow doesn't match the underlying assumptions of the software), so it's not just a case of 'remembering'. I used to have a post it note on the terminal, but it looked messy and kept falling off. Any suggestions? Steve 14 Comments

 Think I've cracked it -- thanks for the helpSubmitted by SteveC on January 16, 2007 - 12:31pm.
...a checklist! I've realised that the problem is really that there's too much to remember when completing that audit report. The summary was just a symptom. So today I mind-mapped a checklist, typed it up, left the file on my desktop and printed a copy when I was completing a report (I had two to do today). It's working so far (while fresh in my mind anyway). Thanks for all the suggestions Steve » POSTED IN:
