I use a calendar for appointments/activities, not for my to-dos. Current tasks flow onto that Hit List on a weekly basis from a categorized journal where I map out multi-step projects and store priority reminders, and from my calendar. I have a clipboard that sits to the left of my keyboard. Weeky Calendar (home Made).

New executives are computer savvy and are comfortable on a keyboard. It is becoming increasingly important to read e-mails thoroughly to look for action items or dates that need to be put in the bosses' calendar and handling requests for information. The role of the secretary/assistant has always followed the needs of management.

Calendar – For quick reference I have a one sheet per day calendar block on my desk. The phone should be on the desk as near to your keyboard and computer screen as possible. Post-it notes and flags – I always buy the largest post-it notes in a variety of colours as I often write notes to myself and need the extra room!

I have discovered that by keeping my hands on those knitting needles (and off of the keyboard) and looking around to see what I have to share with others through my area Freecycle group, I can experience that oh-so-good feeling of fulfillment and wealth. Work is slow or non-existent for everyone, and troubles abound.

A few weeks ago I ordered my new MacBook Pro and I wanted a German keyboard, of cause I could not order a German keyboard, you can order a French keyboard? This time a friendly guy in my Apple Store told me I could pay $200/£100 extra and they would change the keyboard in store for me. installed not OS 10.5.

Similarly I have a large A4 desk pad next to my keyboard for any quick notes I need to make, things to remember (like phone numbers for instance), and tasks people give me at my desk. Calendars are not just for appointments. This is still my favourite go to tool for remember everything at work.

In other words, I wanted to be able to access my email, calendar, tasks, and notes from anywhere. The Tasks in Google Calendar is measly and doesn’t have the ability to set priorities, recurring tasks, and, most importantly, synch with my phone. Google Apps did everything except Tasks. Problem solved. That’s it for now.

I also have many contacts and calendar items. What’s worse is that as the keyboard is getting more use, it’s not as sensitive. I also keep a detailed calendar with anywhere from 1500 to 2000 events scheduled. I see the same lag switching in and out of the Calendaring application as I do for emails.

There are keyboard shortcuts for creating new tasks and branches, for grouping sets of tasks together (a very handy feature that all Project Managers will be pleased to see). One other feature that I really liked was the ability to be able to integrate the configured deadlines for tasks with Google Calendar.

In the Advanced/General preferences panel, you can set Postbox to use Gmail’s keyboard shortcuts and you can also create events within Google Calendar for detected dates. It looks a lot like the native Apple Mail.app, but has a whole lot more under the hood. If you’re a big Gmail user, then Postbox has you covered.

Place your computer directly in front of you with your keyboard and mouse in a comfortable position – your lower arms should rest at a comfortable angle. Determine if you can digitize any of your printed documents. Recycle or shred anything that you do not need a copy of. Ensure your office and desk set up is comfortable.

My favourite to-do list is a calendar timeline so I can see at a glance where I am at and what I need to do to get there. It is simply using an on-line calendar with space on each day to enter what needs to be done. To generate a calendar in Word 2007, click on the Office Button (in the top left-hand corner).

To set a recurring 9-5 meeting (as opposed to clicking all-day meeting) I dont like the all-day meeting settings as they are out of sight at the top of the calendar and easily missed.

Once a date is finalized I put it in my bosss calendar and confirm the meeting with the other participants. Another benefit to writing it down is if your boss asks you to cancel it or to quickly tell you when the meeting is, you can look at the sheet rather than trying to search for it in your calendar.
