Great episode once again! I am finding that in meetings I am much quicker to find out when I am available for follow ups, or have access to reference material than my colleagues with their electronic devices. Most of them have small screens and they seem to flip through them for ages before they find what they need.
ReplyDeleteOh, you two! We got to the end of this episode while riding in the van today and Liam just about lost his little mind! :) "Steve says hello Liam! Karine says hello Liam! Mommy! You hear?!" Week. Made.
ReplyDelete(I'm also teaching him to recite the nostril-finger joke. Mother of the Year, right here.) :)
Thank you both sooo much. His face was absolutely priceless!!
I find this podcast very useful as it touches so closely about all the things that are vital to me- people´s payrolls, keeping ahead with planning, having everything organized and keeping information at hand at all times becauseyou just never know what happens and when you have your life and its responsibilities relying solely on you...
ReplyDeleteHowever, I would like to comment to something Steve took up in the conversations. It is my experience that in corporate world, using a paper planner is considered being entirely ancient. The few times I have seen people with planners, they seem to shy away from using them and once I heard a "oh, why don´t I write this date to my planner for once!" and was astounded. She absolutely sounded thrilled to be working on this very important mission. What else does one do with a planner if not for... say, plan!?! There are those who have openly laughed at my face for using analoque system and that is when I remind them of the times I´ve needed to clear up the mess they created for NOT writing things down. And they also know I can track down anything and everything in my planner because it´s all written down there. When I show up at the meetings, I go prepared. In every way possible. It´s been noticed and instead of giggles, I now get queries of the facts.
I talked of this with my doctor once (he´s a planner person and due to our several diagnosis, we are quite friendly already- we need to go in so often) and noticed his a5 DPP- planner on the desk, filled to the brim. His response was brilliant and on the point. "Well, when you have people´s lives depending upon you, you don´t want to take any risks of things slipping from your attention."
