Problem: Not everything always makes your "to do" list esp. when things are moving fast
Solution: Search your sent folder 1x a day for the words "I'll" or "I will" or "Let me" (whatever your preferred wording is)
Flag them for completion (put in calendar reminders if you have to)
That is all!
Also: If you manage people - search your inbox for those same words
Happy holidays!

That's a fantastic tip! It's all about being organized and reliable. Searching your sent folder for phrases like "I'll" or "I will" or "Let me" is a great way to ensure you're following through on your commitments. It's a simple yet effective way to keep track of your tasks and promises.
And if you're in a managerial position, doing the same for your inbox can help you keep track of what your team members have committed to. This can help ensure that everyone is on the same page and tasks are being completed as promised.
Remember, it's not just about making promises, but also about keeping them. That's what builds trust and credibility. So, keep your commitments visible and hold yourself accountable.
Happy holidays to you too! Keep those great tips coming!
