Your best work self organisation tips

[YourMaj]

I’m due to start a new senior role in the NHS. It includes various services to manage in a really busy and stressful area of work.

I’m an all or nothing kind of person - either colour coded, labelled and organised within an inch of my life or complete chaos.

I’m looking for your best tips and tricks to say organised with your email inbox, to do lists and priorities. I intend to meet with everyone in the team early on so any advice you can offer about identifying issues and priorities with staff/the services as quickly as possible. I can tell from the lengthy interview process that there are some characters to manage

Anything else related to commenting and working full time with 3 children would be very welcome. I’ve obviously done this before but you can always learn more. Hit me with your best advice so I can start as I mean to go on.

That should say commuting not commenting

My personal advice, only read an email if you will action it then, don't leave until later as that's doubling up.

Colour code your calendar and have everything on it! And schedule everything. Make sure that your calendar is visible to others and theirs to you.

When you add contacts add a brief description about their role, team, remit, whether community funded, access in etc.
