A manager's tools of trade

On [#stanier-effective-manager], 2nd chapter:

The manager's tools of trade are the calendar, the todo list, the email and a place to register new information.

• Keep your calendar tidy and dedicated to things coupled with time periods (so no reminders or todo items)
• Register all there is to do in your todo list religiously. Make a habit out of it and include this in your routine.
• You email inbox should be your primary means of communication. Also keep it tidy by archiving things that have been handled. If there is a follow up on those, add them to your todo list
• Carry with you something to take notes whenever possible and use it
