You know the stuff that you should just do, it’s always kinda in the back of your mind. Do it now!
Tomorrow’s the 1st June and it’s almost been a year since I started Objective Digital
properly! Among other things, I have to get ready for the end of financial year.
Here’s a list I used to help myself, even though I’ve just moved house, there’s a lot to do!
Think creatively
- Do/review 5 year plan - again
- Go through the important bits of paper I wrote during meetings and conferences that are collecting dust and mind map any good ideas
- Do EFY08 strategy with accountant
- Add all mind maps created in last 6 months to master mind map
- Take five great ideas from new master map
- Refresh website content based on what I have learnt
- Refresh work wiki content, based on what I should have shared
Be organised
- Clean out my wallet
- Throw out any files and paper cluttering the office
- Scan business cards, file and update salesforce
- Clean Mac desktop
- Read all unread emails in inbox or delete
- Send all draft emails or delete them
- Review all old paper notebooks and then store
- Throw out that shit in my drawer I’ve had for years and never use!
- Find all the pens in the office and put them in my drawer and laptop bag
- Tidy cables and wires in the cupboard
- File new software CDs so I can find them
- Give receipts to my accountant and allocate expenses
Learn
