Done!

Naming files and documents in a good way is quite an art. A common mistake many people make is to name files and documents in a far too impractical way when they want to save different versions of the same document. In this episode, the 517th, I share how do it clearly and efficiently instead. How have you decided to name versions of files at your company? Write to me and share your method or synt...

Sometimes we get involved in a project or workgroup where everything is happening very fast. All participating colleagues are eager to get moving on what you decide to do and it becomes difficult to keep the decision-making contained to the regular, formalized meetings. So, you make decisions on the fly. But, what if you forget to inform the colleagues that were not involved in the decision what y...

How do you keep track of when they need to be done, and the next time, the time after that? Write to me at david@stiernholm.com...
