Don’t staple your notes together but do number your pages. I realize this may sound like a contradiction – if your notes are not stapled together you could easily lose your page (which is why I tell you to number them). c) 2016 Tracey Lawton Training & Consulting LLC.

We are asked to arrange all sorts of events including anything from a team training day through to the company Christmas party and other large scale conferences, exhibitions and dinners.

Put it on paper - If there is an overlap and you get time with the new person to train and orient them that would be the ideal situation, but that doesn't usually happen. It is my junk drawer with clips and staples and just about anything I might need during the day. Write down instructions and things you think they will need to know.

I was in back-to-back Committee meetings and I decided to use two different colours of folders, a blue one for the Committee members, with an attendance sheet stapled to the inside cover for my purposes, along with their meeting packages, and a red one for the Chair with everything the Chair was going to need.

Thanks to Peter Coombs of FRONTLINE Training & Consulting. Staple the cards into a little notebook, one card per page. If I meet someone at an event or training session and obtain their business card, I jot down something about that person or the conversation we had to trigger my memory next time I look them up.

Folder Structure: Build your folders to follow your natural train of thought and don’t be afraid to make multiple layers of folders to stay organized. A good rule of thumb is if you would put the physical information together with a paper clip or staple, then they belong in a folder together.
