Quick Business Tips 8 August 2007 Vol 3 No# 25
Helping you become more efficient

1. Learn What The Clever Mgt. Did To Boost Morale & well Being

2. Task - don't Calendar

1. Task - don't Calendar1
 To build team morale and improve well-being, the management of the Australian Antarctic Division came up with this great idea. They started an optional staff contest to see who would be the first team to walk the distance between the Australian Antarctic territories.

No! They weren't sent out to the frozen terrain. Everyone was given a tee shirt and a pedometer. The team 'stepping' the distance would be the winner. Thirty people initially joined, currently there's 70. It has been a great way to get people talking. Get people walking. Get people healthier. Build a higher level of camaraderie

Why not take this idea and put your spin on it?

2. Task - don't Calendar
If you use Outlook or Lotus Notes chances are you're setting your reminders and follow up prompts in your calendar. Doing so makes your calendar appear mistakenly crowded.

Instead use the Task function (To Do in Lotus; not available in Outlook Express.) You'll still have the prompts, your calendar will have a true reflection of your appointments/meetings and you'll have much more functionality with Tasks.

You can make them reoccur, assign them, allocate time spent.
