ON THE MOVE

ON THE MOVE

Some advice when moving is offered by Hélène Roy in her reprinted article, "When You Move, Get Organized" (Reader's Digest, June, 1985). Pack in a definite order, starting early with the articles you won't need right away - such as books, records, ornaments. Write a description of the contents on every box and indicate what room it should go in. Pack books and other heavy items in smaller boxes. Send out carpets and drapes, etc., to be cleaned and then have them delivered to your new address.

IMPROVE YOUR LETTER WRITING

An item in "Communication Briefings" newsletter recounted how a sales executive cured his tendency to write long, rambling and repetitious letters. He would write "The purpose of this letter is __________" on a blank sheet of paper. By looking at this objective and mulling it around in his mind a few minutes, he was able to write shorter, more productive letters.

IF YOUR BOSS WON'T DELEGATE

Don't sit back and complain and bemoan your fate. If you want added responsibility and authority, you may have to ask for it. Some managers are reluctant to delegate - for a variety of reasons ranging from "no time to train" to "my managers are too busy as it is."

IDIOTS

Not a nice term, but let's face it, if you delay something that should be done now, you're a victim of IDIOTS - I'll Do It On Thursday Syndrome.
