    @hgig by the time it’s taken me to reply- you might get an idea that I’m not particularly well organised! Actually, I’m naturally reasonably organised and I plan my work with lists, priorities and check off tasks as I do them. But, as my role has expanded, I find it very difficult to keep on top of everything and so fortunately I now have an administrative assistant who keeps a tab of specific objectives, tasks and timelines. She nags me to do urgent stuff if a deadline is looming! I try not to leave important things to the last minute as that would be stressful, but I have been known to write a talk 30 minutes before presenting it :-)
