When you have so much work and many documents, art pieces, requests and emails to keep track off it is important to stay ORGANIZED. Millions of mails come in and leave this office every day, some talk about new requests for campaigns, others about adjustments for the brief, other contain feedback for the art pieces and other mails are setting up meetings. On the other hand, there is also a lot of work to keep track off. The is not only art pieces for one campaign but for various campaigns and there is more than one piece per campaign. Finally so much feedback is given back and fourth of the different pieces. How do you keep track of everything? How to do stay alert of all the due dates? How do you remember all the things that have to be changed? Keeping an ORGANIZED schedule, calendar and folders makes everything easier.
This past two weeks have been very busy for the Cristal team. They've had pieces for the summer campaign due, pieces that need to be sent to China for the world cup campaign and also the arts for the "licitación".
To keep track of their emails and the different requests they have created different folders where they keep everything ORGANIZED. This makes it easier since they know where the different mails are located and it also allows stay aware of the work they still need to complete. If they would have a disorganized mail box, then they wouldn't know what has already been done and read, it would be a mess.
Creating folders and clearing out your mail constantly helps you stay ORGANIZED. On my inbox I have many mails that are useless so I usually clear everything out. However, it has happened to me that I've deleted important mails, once I erased my nutritionist mail confirming our appointment and I never went because I didn't see the mail. If I would create folders then I'd be able to classify the mails and therefore I wouldn't loose anything.

Now that a new month has started the team had erased the November tasks from the board and has created a new updated calendar for December. This calendar includes all the important pieces that have to be completed in December. Not only does it have each piece written down but it has the name of the creative guy who has to complete each piece. Additionally each member of the team has their individual calendar that allows them to know in advance the things they have to do so in the end all doesn't all accumulate. |
Ever since I've been using iProcrastinate again I have ORGANIZED myself better because I have all my assignments written down so I don't randomly remember about one the day before it's due. It also helps me figure out when I have free time and when I need to work. Having an ORGANIZED schedule for the past week has also helped me become well- balanced. I have completed my work but I have also followed my passion, gone out with my friends, spend time with my family and sleep. Also Recently I've been using one of the teams strategies when writing assignments. I highlight the most important one for each week so I know what are my priorities. |
To keep track of the feedback and assure it is taken into consideration they have meetings at least once a week to keep the status updated with all the changes that Backus, Cristal, has requested. This way the creatives and the entire team knows what needs to be changed and improved. They are also constantly taking notes and and emailing each other to remind one another of events, due dates and feedback so that everything is completed and not a single thing is missed.
Today the Cristal team didn't consider the time difference between China and Peru when planning their calendar and they stetted the due date for the glass cups design for tomorrow morning. Today they were discussing about it and they realized that if they turned them in tomorrow morning it was going to be night in China so the real due date was today at night so China could receive it during the day. So the creatives spend their entire lunch time in the office and they planned to stay until late at night because if the design were turned in late then the entire printing was going to be pushed back. This was going to affect the distribution later because the cups wouldn't be delivered on time. So they had to do whatever it was needed to don't cause any problems and disappoint their costumer, Cristal.
