Director Maximizing Productivity with the New Consultant Planner

[ChefChris]

So who here is actually using the new consultant planner the company sent us? I have been using it but am thinking of buying one that is weekly calendar with a monthly calendar in between. What are your thoughts?

I like it. It's different than anything I've used before but I think it'll be a great tool once we adjust.

I don't understand the big deal. It's a gift. It's a tool to help us with our business. Everyone is different. If it's not your style than use something else. Not saying this thread is a complaint but I've heard a lot of whining about this calendar - they won't bother if we just complain every time they give us something. Most "employers" don't "give" "employees" anything.

I like it! And I agree with Beth... it's a GIFT! Take it or leave it... everyone has to use what works best for them!

I am using it and loving it. I've had customers ask how to get their own great calendar like I have... so I tell them!

I put mine in the 3 ring dots binder we got last January and then I printed my outlook calendar on card stock and 3 hole punched it so I have a month in view. I actually placed it in between so that it falls right before the new month. Plus my outlook calendar has all my birthday's on it. I love it this way. Also I love that it has more room to write. i have always written a ton of things in my calendar so it's great that I may have enough space. It is a little wierd that it's Landscape instead of portrait but I will get used to it.

by the way I had to call twice just to get mine. Didn't get it when everyone else did and then the first guy told me his superviser said they don't jsut giev those to everyone. I laughed at him and then called back a week later and talked to someone who fixed it for me.

Tiffany, I really like your idea! To me, that is the only thing missing is a month view. I really like the larger space to write stuff in. I also think it will be a big help when trying to book in close (for those of you who take the calendar to shows).

 

[BethCooks4U]

They do have a month view in the back of the planner. I flip back to that for those that need to count weeks for payday/day off to decide on their date.

 

[Chef Kearns]

No, I mean a month page before the weekly schedule begins. I'd like to write out everything in one big view to make it easier to schedule some stuff (I'm thinking family stuff).

I have not transferred my calendar to the new one but I will be doing what Tiffany is doing because of my full time job too.

Soon I will have some days off to sit down and study the planner further. I plan giving it my best and trying it. It is a paradigm change but I think of it as a challenge. Somethings work, others don't but it is always worth trying! :chef:

I'm still trying to figure out why I didn't receive one. Even as a TL, shouldn't I have received one?

 

[Chef Kearns]

Yes, you should've gotten it. When I've moved in the past I would miss some of the automatic shipment stuff. Even though I updated my addres it wasn't system wide. I would call them and let them know. It may just be because of your recent move(s).

HOw are ya doing girlie?!

Good point! That did happen when I moved from Germany. I'll call them.

I'm doing good! Life is FINALLY slowing down. On break from school and forming my plan of attack for business in the New Year!

How are you? We really need to catch up.
