So, over the years we have tried all types of tools to help with work organisation to ensure deadlines are met within time and budget, additionally, ensuring protocols and policies are observed while working within the frame of an organisation. It can be plenty!
..
Some of the tools are among:
1. Good stationery – great writing pens, highlighters, post its, writing paper – first and foremost.

2. Evernote – for taking notes at meetings and writing minutes and follow-up items quickly.

3. Trello and Asana – for task-oriented projects and overall one-on-one client management.

4. Visio – Process maps are friendly – you can map an entire process which can help to create standard operating procedures quickly.

5.Toolkits/ Manuals/ Books/ Frameworks – for training and completing important deliverables that are specific in a content type.

6. Microsoft Suite – all of it.

7. MUSIC and it is in caps for a reason.

8.Vision book/ board - keeping ideals visible so at any time there is a reminder of what the why.

9. The mobile phone – appointments, calendars, grocery lists, voice notes.

10. BOOKS another caps.
...
While tools are great, having an approach to work helps. Doing the recurring stuff every single day (call, add your entries on the finance spreadsheet, put in your deliverables, update, check dashboard). Soon you will have a system with a logical flow, triggered by one action to the next.
…
Having a process and a system has helped to free up time for creativity and brainstorming and it is easy to delegate eventually. When things don’t go as planned, having a system and process helps so tweaking is easy to suit the situation.

Today is the start of the workweek October 04, 2021 - Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are all currently down! There were times in the past when either of the platforms did shut down or had glitches and resumed operations after some time. But today! all three platforms went down it is now 3:23pm as I am writing and there is no life teeming.

What is the lesson here? Like life things may not often go as planned at times when you least expect it. Do you throw your hands up? It might be an opportunity to take a break but it is difficult when you rely on these systems for business or you might have a planned live or an online streaming activity. It can be a wonderful time to rethink your contingency planning. What are you plan B,C and D? Maybe you should consider other mechanisms of reaching people. But that is not really the issue is it? The issue is what do you do when things do not go as planned.

Fact is, we always have options….time to rethink… time to re-strategize all the areas of your business and even your life.

Have a great day, despite the temporary showers.

Punctuality is the soul of business.

- Thomas Chandler Haliburton

.

.

This virtue is a sore point for quite a few people. On a personal level, it communicates a message that you may be unreliable. On a professional level, someone or an entity not being on time might affect productivity, their reputation and eventually their bottom line.

.

.

As we close this week, do a check-in with yourself and observe whether this is something you need to try a little harder on, and make an effort to have it rectified.

.

.

At Uwàmìto Consulting punctuality is a gloss that improves our service provision. We start and finish on time.

.

.

We also work with people to improve their acumen and punctuality is an area we pay attention to.

How open are you to receiving honest feedback? If we think on it for a while as humans, we are quite open to receiving positive feedback for a number of reasons. But… receiving ‘negative’ feedback? it is a little bit tricky. We would say it depends on how it is delivered. No?  

But for many of us who are providing different goods and services, we know how important it is to have good service quality.

What are some ways you can receive feedback both internal and external? Here are a few of ours:

1.       Anonymous mechanisms – more effective for internal feedback

2.       Online Surveys to reach a wider audience

3.       Product or Service reviews for clients and customers – online as well.

4.       Timed assessment (mid-term, end line or continuous)

5.       Focus groups

6.       Set up a specific mechanism for open communication

There are endless ways in which you can design or create your feedback mechanisms it can be simple or complex. Our preference though is simple. Having an openness to receiving and acting on feedback will improve your service quality.

Feel free to reach out to us if you need support.

Personal Planning - Using a vision board or a 'dream book'

Using simple, user-friendly and easy to duplicate methodologies influence everything we do at Uwamito Consulting.

Personal planning as an important building block for all other types of planning.

So one of the key items you will decide is the mode for your planning document and the decision to choose a 'dream book' over a 'vision board' or vice versa is totally up to you but in both instances they would organise the areas of your life you need to focus on and ideally indicate what your goals are.

Deciding to use either can be linked to personal preference or can be influenced by your environment or reality.

A board provides a visual reminder of your 'compass' it can also be a source of encouragement for other persons to also do similar for themselves and in some instances provide your circle with pointers on how they can be supportive of your dreams and goals. This might be a bit challenging if your environment might not allow you the personal space to be intimate.

See the online resource: https://cindytrimmministries.org/…/WRITING-A-VISION-FOR-YOU…
(This is a very good tool which has 12 areas of focus you can alter as per your needs)

The dream book which is different to but similar to the format of a diary or journal (where you write your thoughts on an ongoing basis). The currency you place on the contents of the book will influence how often you use it. But it affords a level of confidentiality not provided by the board, from a utility standpoint the book can be easier to store in a safe space limiting anyone else from having access.
