We’re getting close to holiday central now, and it’s no time to be slowing down. Write out your reminders, then set them up on your work calendar.

Most businesses have their employees on Outlook for email and scheduling. If this is the system you use at work start setting up reminders for upcoming projects and due dates. Even with a company project management system you should still have a back-up to remind you of assignments. I typically set the due date reminder for a day or two before the task needs to be done, or earlier if it’s a bigger project with  more variables.
Another way to stay on top of things is to sync your email with your smartphone. While receiving emails at dinner may not be desirable, you can create rules and reminders related to the more important items on your to-do list at work.
