I think I figured out why us managers have such difficultly achieving our weekly goals; The answer: we are NOT fluid, the reason: we all work different hours therefore we are never "working all together".
I truly believe if i shared some overlapping hours with Ashley; we'd be on the same page about the weekly events, promotions, and other action items.
But that can't happen unless I meet weekly with Phylisha and Ali.
But of course when Adam's special events and parties start to move full blast, we'd also have to meet weekly as well, according to my theory at least.
Some take-a-ways I had this week:
1-To keep weekly tasks moving, Matt, Larry (project manager in marketing for student life), and myself now meet once a week. We discuss any outstanding items, new projects, and brainstorm about new marketing ideas. This week we discussed business cards, special events brochures, posters, flyers, etc.
2-To ensure I am up-to-date on all my items, I now have an on-going excel document; in short this will act as an epic "To-Do List". (I learned this helpful way to time manage from my mentor during my summer internship)
3- When you are at work, BE AT WORK. Don't think about your exams, homework, quizzes, social events pending (because yes, I'd like to think I have a life too). And when I am in the library studying to my exam (like I am now), then study for my exam i.e. do not send emails, do not research SEO or table tents, or blog. But when us managers all work different hours, sometimes emails need to be addressed, blogs need to be posted, and research needs to be done. I'd never thought I'd appreciate a 9-5 working environment as much as I do now.
Until next week,
Becky
