What techniques can help you avoid missing important details on tight deadlines?

I keep notebooks on me. All my notes/questions/important details are kept on it. Depending on the task, I’ll break down each one and their relevance.

The thing I have found most helpful is physically breaking the task down either on the computer or my preferred - paper. I create a daily to do and make sure to list high priorities at the top and put there deadlines on there.

I am in complete agreement with Katherine Rogers - plan each day and keep priorities at the top of the to do list. By taking the time to write, or type, the list of important activities for the day, you are committing each to a higher level memory. It helps as you go through the day because they at ready recall delegating tasks appropriately becomes much easier. By committing to this simple 5-minute task at the beginning of each day, or during a mental wrap up at the end of each day, you ensure that you will get the best productivity out of your day!

One thing I've found helpful is to utilize Slack to send me reminders of deadlines, due dates, waiting on responses and looking for an answer. Slack is a great tool for keeping tasks top of mind, and when you've completed something, simply check it off of your Slack list!

Communication just keeps coming up no matter what the management topic may be. Become the best communicator you know. Be open and transparent with your teams. Make sure to listen as a part of your communication to ensure the message you are sending is the message you intended to send. Document communications and maintain accountability with all members of the team. It is important that people know you are putting a trust in them when you delegate tasks and that everyone is accountable. You will create a highly effective team through regular and meaningful communications.

Delegating is such an important skill to learn, often times when we have heavy deadlines upon us the stress can make you feel isolated and could even in worse cases lead to burn out, Yikes! Main thing to remember is that for the team to work effectively together everyone workloads need to be manageable. If you're feeling burnt out it may bleed into your work and personal life which is not the signs of effective work load. Remember you don't have to be a one man army! Prioritize what you can accomplish effectively within the amount of time needed and play on other people's strengths to effectively delegate any remaining tasks that are out of your capacity!

Writing down everything that needs to be completed, including the minor things. Then going through that list to mark the high priority items with a short suspense. If there are any of the priority items that can be delegated, pass them to another colleague. It makes it easier to complete the list with more hands and you will likely meet the deadline. When you write everything down you might realize there aren't that many steps to complete the task.

Something I've found helpful is collaborative proof-reading and editing. Shared drives like OneDrive or Google Drive allow multiple people to work together in real time. Two (or more) sets of eyes are better than one, and an editing session via zoom and a shared drive document is fast and easy.

Calendar-Calendar-Calendar I rely heavily on my calendar and reminders. When we have the technology, why not use it? Whether you’re using Google, Outlook, or any other calendaring program, they all have about the same capabilities. I add as much details as I can so I don’t have to go back to emails or notes to get information I know I will need. I will set not just one reminder but two. One farther out and one just before travel time needed to be on time. Seems like a no-brainer suggestion but I’m always amazed on how many people forget about putting things on their calendars. Do it! Be consistent. Be thorough. If you do I guarantee good results
