Most people use outlook…. so setup your inbox with folders where you can file any items you have responded to or actioned to another person. If its a to do or an action you have then it stays in your inbox. Everyone I work with knows that if my inbox has a “scroll bar” I am not happy. It so simple to do but its been the most useful process/tool I have used throughout my career. Deal with it, file it or leave it there to nag you until you complete….it’s that simple

I definitely struggle with to-do lists. I have about 4 or 5 partial lists on my desk somewhere–so I need the visibiliy but my problem lies in the unexpected…people that camp out in my office with problems to discuss for an hour at a time.
