Domain: Work Admin

I previously had a cold war with Workflowy but just moments ago, I resuscitated it. Erstwhile a To-Do list, I'm breathed new life into my Workflowy to chronicle each LIFE domain I've tackled. My Better Selves jotterbook is fun to trash everything out on but a digital medium documents it more neatly.

Here's what went down in the Work Admin domain:

Ideal Scenario:
Present an image of organization, reliability & timeliness in the office. That Kenny can be trusted with tasks, Kenny has been trusted with tasks, and Kenny delivers when you entrust him a task.  I show ownership for admin tasks assigned; I finish them, like a boss, pwned, WIN.

Goals:
1. Have relevant paperwork or digital material at hand when working on projects.
2. Ensure quality and effort in the product.
3. Complete them on time.
4. Keep track of projects to account for the time spent and to report for appraisals.

Task:
To follow procedures

1. When assigned a new task
__a. Write down in 5-column-task-sheet under "Admin"
__b. Write down expected deadline
__c. Write down expected outcome
__d. Write down Next-Action if task itself is unclear

2. When task involves paperwork or digital documents
__a. Open temporary file / digital folders for materials
__b. Put in all relevant material
__c. Label physical file with post-it and store in Projects magazine folder, when not working on it
__d. Label digital folder with project title and place in Projects folder in d:/drive

3. When task is a multi-step project
__a. Log into "Clinical Mgmt Logging" excel sheet in dropbox, in sheet "Admin Projects"

Then all that's left is to do the task when time allows, noting the deadlines.

Here's the good news:
I hate writing things down, I'd throw up the white flag. Thus, when I'm assigned a task, say, through email (as opposed to a meeting where you'd have to stay put 'til it is adjourned), I'd evaluate if I can do manage it straightaway, and do it if I can and just log it in, instead of writing it down as a task. Past experiences these weeks have shown that when my motivation is high, and my energy level is not DEFCON 1, I complete Next-Actions for tasks immediately. So enforcing this process of writing down has deterred me from procrastinating.

Here's the second piece of good news:
I've already implemented these processes and it looks like we're heading for victory. I had set up the infrastructure and strategized the work processes previously when working on the Clinical Mgmt domain. Nonetheless, I'll evaluate and review this system down the road. If work were really a battlefield, I want to be the cool breeze Colonel I-Made-It-Look-Easy — like a boss, pwned, WIN.
