Organizing Your Messages
How do you organize your messages…for business and for family matters? We live in a multigenerational home, so there are messages for three generations of family.
Where do we post them so they won’t get lost, so the appropriate person gets them in a timely fashion, so we’ll make sure we’ve acted upon them.
We do have a phone message pad with duplicate pages. However, it’s only located by the one phone of easy access to all family members.
Other notes are taken on memo pads and placed at a desk or on a bulletin board. We transfer our appointments to a family calendar that enables us to see at a glance everyone’s work schedules, appointments, and meetings.
There’s a bulletin board near the calendar for more detailed information about appointments and work schedules. The refrigerator is used for tacking up school schedules, school lunch menus, inspirational pictures and sayings.
This has evolved into a system that works for us. Having phone pads at other phones in the house might help round out the system so no phone messages are missed.
