Planning for Busy People

Everyone has busy schedules and deadlines are important. If your job revolves around putting out the latest information on a company Twitter feed, Facebook post, or Instagram picture; it is paramount to do so at the appropriate times to capitalize on the most views and engagement with your audience. Missing these releases can throw off the viability of a tactic or worse, get you fired!

Making sure you have all your ducks in a row can be accomplished through hard copy planners, setting alarms on your smartphone or utilizing applications such as Tweetdeck. However you best manage all your deadlines should be the avenues you choose. I personally like to write things down and look at my planner frequently during the day and update deadlines and assignments when necessary. But sometimes when a certain project consumes all your time for multiple days, looking at that planner comes to a standstill. And that is when you might miss a deadline. So even the most stringent organizational worker can mess up through human error.

Relying on technology to keep you updated can help with this downside of forgetting to look at your planner. Automatic updates can be scheduled for the company blog, so you can write several topics at the beginning of the week or month to be released at certain times. It is such a wonderful thing to have friendly reminders or automation cover for you when things get too hectic.
