Whenever I'm wrapping up a project or task, I often find myself with a few minutes before needing to take off to a meeting or end my day. When there is just a few minutes, it's difficult to get your mind around a new task or project that you are going to have to abandon in a bit. So, with my list I can do some productive things and not waste that small amount of time while trying to figure out what I am going to do with that time.
Here's are a few examples on my list. Feel free to add to it.
- Clean my desk.
- Declutter my inbox
- Write a note to someone
- Review my daily/weekly goals
- Review industry related blog posts or articles.
- Organize my PC desktop

I have a list of quick things-to-do that I use, and one of the items on the list is go thru our company photo directory and try to put names with faces.
ReplyDeleteI try to memorize names, what jobs people do, where they work in the building, etc. It's definitely helped a time or two - but it's also got me in trouble once or twice when I got a little cocky thinking I knew someone's name and had it wrong.
