Organizing Relationships and Information for Review and Planning

PLContactBrain

Planning where you want to go personally, spiritually and professionally is a must. If you don't have a plan of what you want to accomplish and what you're going to do to get there, it can feel overwhelming or a lot like being lost.

To plan for the future, you need to know where you're at right now.

First let's look at relationships. You have a lot of relationships with other people; the question is what type of relationship is it? Is it a personal one, strictly professional, or both? How did you get to know this person? How can you help them? Do you have common relationships with other people?

So, to know how to keep and develop your relationships, it's important to have an understanding of what they look like now, how they relate to you and their connections with other people, events and information.

Now let's look at all the information and knowledge you've amassed over the years. It is said that knowledge is power. But as Goethe said, "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Knowledge is of no value if it is not used.

How can you make use of, or act on, any information or knowledge you've acquired if you can't remember it or find it? To plan on where you want your business to go, you need to understand what you have in terms of information and knowledge you can use. Most of us don't need more information, we just need to know what we have and make use of it.

Now that we've demonstrated the importance of organizing and managing your relationships, information and knowledge, there are a couple of places you can go to to find out how we organize and manage it all.

Managing Social Media, Information and Knowledge Survey

Survey 1

We would appreciate your input on managing social media relationships, information and knowledge.

On a daily basis you connect with new friends and followers, keep in touch with existing contacts, and are exposed to an overwhelming amount of information and knowledge. So, how do you manage all that? Does most of it end up in a black hole, never to be seen again? If you're like most people, that's exactly what happens. Then when you need it most, you can't find it.

People have told us things like:
"I don' know how to organize it all."
"How do I get my head around managing this on a daily basis, so that I don't end up overwhelmed and therefore give up!"
"My challenge – overload, and getting everything organized. Paper and email avalanche."

As well, people had specific questions about whether it is possible to manage and organize social media relationships, information and knowledge, and how to do it.

To better define what you'd really like to know, would you please take five minutes to complete the following survey? (It's just 7 questions, and they're really easy to answer.)

Thank you in advance for your input, we really appreciate it.
