Preparing for time out of the office for the holidays is frustratingly stressful. It’s supposed to be the most magical time of the year and somewhere amongst the gifts, parties, and holiday movies, we are still expected to carry our normal workload. The audacity! And not just because of our task list.

Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive. Personally I prefer askSam and (either way) it takes time and effort to implement but for every hour I put into it, it probably saves me four (and reduces stress). To be more productive, allocate 15 minutes each week. Just a suggestion.
