Attacking Admin
7 Aug 2012 | 2 Comments | posted by Megan Onions | in Me, The Business of Translation
Admin. Those little jobs that you don’t think will take much time, but end up eating into your day. What is your solution?
The following are some of the methods I use to deal with admin tasks:
* organising email folders – under month and client name, for example
* creating and using email templates – for initial enquiries or newcomers to translation seeking advice
* keeping a spreadsheet to document contact with prospective clients – dates of emails, details of responses, etc.
* using and keeping to a schedule for updating online profiles (e.g. new skills/projects on LinkedIn)
How to you deal with admin? I’d be delighted to get some suggestions!
Megan’s proofreading has been very beneficial to me. I appreciate her accurate linguistic knowledge of English, and especially her stylistic recommendations.
