New Year
2006. When I was a kid growing up thinking of the year 2006 was
like dreaming about living in Star Trek times. And in some ways,
compared to the 60's we are living in Star Trek times. Personal
computers, PDAs, cell phones, DVDs, iPods, the internet,
broadband and other great technologies were only a dream back
then. Heck, even some old technologies like color TV, cassette
tapes and VHS recorders were far from being incorporated into
our daily lives. In some ways we were living in the stone age
compared to today.
But all of these new technologies have come at a price to the
small business owner and high level manager. We need to be
connected all the time. People need to be able to reach us via
phone. We must produce more and more every year. We must be able
to multitask. How can we do it all?
Organization! That is the key. We must be organized at all
times. We must be able to deal with all of the email and
paperwork
that hits our desk. We must know where we are supposed
to be and with whom we are supposed to be in contact. Missing
appointments and letting business fall through the cracks is a
no-no.
Do you have a system of organization? Is your contact database
up to date? Is your calendar clean? Can you handle the hundreds
of emails you receive each week or do you do a mass deletion
when your in-box gets too full? Can you process the paper that
hits your desk or do you have stacks of paper all around your
office or work area? These are a few questions to consider as
you start the new year with intentions of making it the most
productive year yet.
