Folks, we all have to accomodate our illness and develop work-arounds to stay successful, productive and useful at our jobs.
Can we share ideas on how we streamline our processes, cut corners, improve organization, etc.?
Please post here!
I took lean manufacturing training in '97 and found it very useful in all aspects of work, household, project management....saving time, effort and money is always beneficial.
I write fastidious work instructions at all of my jobs. They are incredibly detailed, outlining every step of every task. The intent was to accomodate anyone who had to back-fill the job, but now it helps me out, too.
I use outlook to remind me for every periodic task. I work in Accounting and have many reports and analyses due at varied times. A master check list might be helpful.
Diligent note-taking during one-on-one meetings with my manager helps. This way I know what I am responsible for and can follow through.
Keep data files very organized. Folders: First by department, then by genre, then by document type. Then date each document in an organized way to retrieve them. Ie: 2012-04-30 Meeting Minutes. These will sort accordingly.
Physical documents: File similarly by department, genre, document type. In date order.
I use a white board to list my pending tasks to complete.
