Hi there,

Just last week, I worked with a client in Washington DC who has a similar travel schedule. She shared with me that the key to her "getting organized" for that amount of travel was going to come down to her using the first THREE steps of Mastering Workflow on a regular basis. That is:

Collect: pile up everything that has your attention
Process: decide what has to be done, by when, and where
Organize: put all of those decisions in a reviewable system

Doing so, she said, she'd be able to trust her "review" and "action choices" whereever she is.

The simplest system will be the one that works for you. Most people I have coached use a combination of tools to keep them "on."

As far as size is concerned, a PDA *could* be the the smallest, although I have worked with people who needed much more paper-based materials whereever they are.

One of the ways you might consider creating a "personal" system is to experience the workflow coaching process from one of our staff!
