Another valuable item that I use o­n a daily basis is a Legal Pad. You would be surprised at number of people who overlook this vital tool and how to use it properly. My legal pad sits next to telephone or o­n my counter. If I get an important call or a letter telling me that something needs my attention, I write it o­n legal pad along with date and time. I then draw a line under item so I can distinguish it from next item that comes up. When I have successfully dealt with an item, I draw a line through it and enter completion time and date. In this way I can keep track of deadlines and important tasks.

Never tear a page out of a legal pad! It is an important record of your business activities. Not o­nly will it help you to stay o­n track but can be used to prove that you did something if you are ever questioned. For instance, if a supplier says that they never got your order, you will be able to refer to your legal pad to recall not o­nly times and dates, but also important information such as name of person you talked to when ordered.The To Do List and Legal Pad are two of most powerful tools that you can have in your business arsenal. Learn to use them properly and your business will run more smoothly. They may be low tech tools, but they can have a huge impact o­n your bottom line.
