Friends, hope you have all gone through the last post on Tasks Management. Let's move on to next part of Smart Manager which is Snapshot
Snapshot is a special document which gives an
instant view of what you are expecting from others and what all is pending on
your end.
Expecting
As tasks are performed, often external
inputs would be needed. You may have asked someone for feedback, given a task
to someone or may have initiated a
transaction (eg. bank) whose execution would take finite time. All these come
under Expecting category
Pending
This is a snapshot of what things are due from your side. You may have to
provide data to someone, work on a task etc.
More
categories
Deferred
Expecting/Pending items which are not to be pursued in immediate future
can be moved to this category
No response
Expecting items where no response is received after considerable time
Some important points
- Each Expecting/Pending item should be very brief, only a few words
- If context of item can be remembered, writing it can be avoided (though, this should not be done at the cost of loosing clarity)
- As soon as activity is performed, Snapshot list and the related task (if there) should also be updated
- Mostly Expecting/Pending items are connected with Tasks except in some scenarios where an entry may be directly added
- Expected date of action should also be added. In case of Expecting items, if response is not received by this date, follow up should be done
Benefits of Snapshot
- It helps in tremendous saving of time as one does not need to scan all tasks
- It helps in having timely follow ups
- It helps in improving one's reliability
