Task Symbols
September 15, 2016Use the following symbols to keep up on the current status of your tasks. Some may be self-explanatory, while others could use a little clarification.
√ Completed – when the task is completed and there is nothing more to do or to follow up on
→ Forwarded – when the task is forwarded to the next day, next week, or future date
× Deleted – when the task no longer needs to be completed or becomes obsolete
G √ Delegated – when the task is delegated to someone else, put his/her initial next to a checkmark
- In Process – when a task is making progress to completion, underway, ongoing
I’m looking for a suggestion about delegated tasks. What do you recommend to make sure I can track complete, to follow up and to set a due date later for the delegated task. Any suggestion appreciated.
Our videos and training modules found here are a great resource for learning or refreshing the Franklin method. Delegating tasks are touched on in both. I have also seen the Multiple Schedule Form and the Progressive Task List used to track/’keep an eye on’ delegated tasks. I hope this helps 🙂
Andrew, one suggestion I use, is the Page Finder Pocket with the Daily Compass Cards. I use two Cards in the pocket, back to back with the “Notes” side facing out. I use this for a least of Delegated Tasks and Important Notes and Follow-Ups. I use a multi color pen, like the Pilot Frixion “Erasable” Pen. I’ll put one in Blue and Priority Stuff in Red. It just helps me to keep it in mind and in front of me whenever I open my planner.
