Christie and I met today so that I could learn more about her and her job. She has been in the position a few months and has learned a lot, but acknowledges she has much more to learn.
I share the concepts of capture, configure, and control:
Capture - a low friction space in any medium to collect information
Configure - organize responsibilities into categories (to be processed, needs follow-up, waiting to hear back)
Control - make a proactive plan to manage your time (time blocking). Creates consistency and reduces worry about open loops. Allocate your time rather than relying solely on to-do lists.
I also suggested daily routines at 2 or 3 times during the day to make sure she is confident.
