I have a FRIDAY box. I put all my notes, follow-up and everything I did not get to during the week. On Friday I look at what’s in my Friday box and start working on the list. I prioritize my sales activities first. It it’s an activity that is going to help my reach my sales goals, I do that first. Great Article. Thanks.

My on the go “in box” for business cards & receipts: take 2 ziploc bags: label one Bsns Cards, label one Receipts. Put them directly into the bag, then process the bag. Now it’s empty and ready to go again.

When I want to jot a quick note: if it’s quiet enough, I use Jott.com and send it directly to Outlook Tasks or Calendar. If not, write it on 3×5 index cards I carry in my Levenger Pocket “briefcase”. Staple it to larger piece of scrap paper if it’s just something that goes in my Tickler Files OR process it directly to Next Action list, Calendar, etc.

Agree on the use pads you can tear the pages out but I like the spiral bound ones as being more durable. I get the small 3 x 5 inch size in dozen packs at Sam’s Club. Each day I take my notes, and rip them out and put them into the inbox.

Use notepads that you can tear the pages out. Stay away from spiral bound ones. That way rip out the pages each day, process them, and toss.
