WORDS OF WISDOM

PLAN OF ATTACK

If you nd your workspace cluttered with

Post-it notes and scraps of paper, a good way

to minimise the mess is to have somewhere

central to keep it all in check. Next time

you’re perusing the stationery

aisle, keep an eye out for a

weekly desktop planner –

they’re incredibly handy

and often include room

for appointments

and goal-setting,

plus designated

scribble zones.

HELLO, TRELLO

If you’re a girl boss trying to stay on top of

it all, collaboration app Trello could help.

Whether it’s a side project you’re trying to

get off the ground or a family reunion that

requires more organisation than a royal

wedding, Trello lets you create ‘boards’ for

projects and insert tasks, checklists and

comments that allow everyone involved

to work towards your goal together.

WHAT’S

On e level

If wearing high heels to your nine

to five is something you’d rather

forgo, you may be interested in

the movement gaining traction

in Japan. #KuToo, a play on the

Japanese words for shoe (kustu)

and pain (kutsū), has women

kicking off their heels in protest of

the unspoken rule that women

must wear heels at work. We love

a ‘take-charge’ tale, and salute

you whether you love heels or

would happily go without.
