Lots of new responsibilities: Looking for advice
Pranish Kantesaria | Dec 31 2007
Hey all, I just went from being a resident with 0 administrative responsibility (except for patients) to being in charge of the pharmacy department of a 220 bed hospital with about 40 or so people I'm responsible for. Basically I'm freaking out. I need advice and I've just bought GTD and am looking for ways to keep up before I inevitably fall behind. Any advice, suggestions, or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. [Ed's note: I "bumped" this question because I missed it first time around, and I'd love to hear what sorts of advice people have. -- Merlin] 18 Comments

 Keep your email management fast and simpleSubmitted by craighuggart on January 8, 2008 - 5:47am.
I recommend that you only use 3 "buckets" for your email. After you have deleted the messages you can and forward the ones you can move everything to one of three buckets: Reference, Calendar, or Tasks. Reference is for anything you might need to look at later. Calendar is for things that need to happen at a specific time. Tasks is for everything else. One of the best books to read after GTD is Linenberger's Total Workday Control. Hope this helps, Craig » POSTED IN:
