New home, new friends, and wonderful career. Yet I found myself uncharacteristically asking, “Self, why am I feeling so frustrated? Why am I getting upset at smallest of situations?” I did a little digging (soul searching, if you will) and realized that as wonderful as things were going at moment, like most of us, I had some unfinished business out there. There were a handful of people and negative relationships that were still on my mind and wanted to do something about it. What I came up with was realization that out of all people or things I was angry with, none of them (did I believe) truly meant to cause me harm. In other words, they had no intent for malice; it was only interpretation of event or situation that caused me anger and pain. Think about this for a second. How many times have you gotten into arguments over silliest of things, only to later realize how foolish you were being and to acknowledge that you’d simply gotten caught up in moment? After pondering this question for a bit, I decided to do something I should have done long ago. I thought about few relationships in my life that were less than perfect or had ended on a sour note. I then committed myself to research what had caused upheaval and to do my best to rectify relationships that lacked a harmful intent.
| | Overcoming the Document Tracking ChallengeWritten by Joe Miller
“Where did it go? It was here yesterday. Wait. Here it is. But it looks a lot like draft I just sent my team members yesterday. I don’t remember when this change was made. Who made this change? Why is document tracking so difficult?”We have all seen it before. Desk space is being invaded by papers and drafts of rather important information that is in a rather unidentifiable order. When it comes to information, businesses know that time is money. Businesses do not want to spend money for hours spent on manual document tracking, which is why most business are searching out document tracking software that keeps all of your drafts, reports, and other important informational documents in order. Document tracking software has literally rescued business from drowning in an innavigable sea of documents. So, what is document tracking and how do I find right software to make it happen? You can start by searching “document tracking” on a search engine, and you will find about 167 million pages indexed on document tracking. The good news is that information and products to get your business started on effective document tracking is available. The bad news is that all of that information can be difficult to sift through in order to find document tracking software that fits your business needs. Document Tracking Whether your business specializes in potato chips or automobiles, your business will have departments and teams that work together with management, investors, and clients to produce reports on market, budget, product, sales, or other important information, and document tracking is glue that keeps a report together. These reports are meant to bring all parties on to same page with respect to how company is running and needs to run. As these teams and departments compile information and develop reports and presentations, several drafts are sent back and forth between parties and that is when document tracking gets sticky. The desktop, outlook, and hard drive could very quickly get filled with numerous drafts under numerous titles, leaving you with more questions than answers. Who? What? When? Where? And how? Repeat through your mind as you look over this complex collection of documents. Whether manual or electronic filing has been your method, electronic document tracking can answer all of your document tacking questions.
