Hello Roisin
a wise time management person once told me, tow very good things
1) if you are constantly doing the work of others try a new approach in that
, tell them how to get the job done and advise , try to have ago yourself ,
if you get into difficulty get back to me art 4.30pm( or usually 30 mins
before they finish work) this way you don't get the monkey
2) if you pick up a file ,or a piece of paper don't put it down until you
have made a decision and acted on it( file in the bin its useless, file in
the notes,e-mail contact manager re subject)
Not sure if this will help but when your busy small tasks completed help a
lot.
Regards
Pauline

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Time / office management - Help / advice
Hello Everyone,
I work in a very large and busy organisation - lots of paperwork, systems,
processes, i's and t's to dot and cross, no admin support, you get the
general gist, no different to most I imagine.
Before I drown in a sea of paperwork, outstanding filing etc, I wondered if
you more experienced (or more organised!)
members would mind sharing any of your own tips that you may have developed
on practical strategies for keeping on top of workload, referrals,
appointments. I'm trying to evolve my own way as best I can, but I'm looking
to the experts for wisdom here.
A big problem I find is that I can set a plan in place, but need to
re-prioritise so often and reschedule to respond to
certain needs (such as reports of potentially work related illness/injury
that need assessed asap) that I'm worried I'm going to miss something / fail
to follow up on something important. Things tend to run at a fast pace.
It's a big question - I know people can study for degrees in office
management, but I'm really just looking for some day to day practical
advice, no matter how small.
Thanks so much in advance.
Roisin
