So mad at myself...
I have been making a few mistakes lately at my job. I know its because I have been planning our large end of the year meeting and have been pulled in ten different directions lately.
There have been at least 3 mistakes that have been called to my attention by supervisors. I get really upset and beat myself up about these mistakes.
If anyone could give me any advice that you use in your job to keep organized etc...so I stop making these silly mistakes. They are honestly the most silly mistakes that I make because I have a mountain of work on my plate.

make yourself a to-do list at the beginning of each day and do things one by one. this helps me stay organized and get things done in order

I use my calendar in Microsoft outlook and color code things in order of importance and task. Also, I keep spreadsheets of all the work I am doing and what needs to be followed up on, where I left off on something, and what is complete, that way when my boss asks, I just pull up that spreadsheet.
Excel Spreadsheets are my best friend at work!

Cut yourself some slack first of all. You are not super woman.
I use lists and write everything in a spiral bound notebook. I cross it off after I complete it.
It works and very few things fall through the cracks.

Re: So mad at myself...
What kind of mistakes are you having? Are they like follow up mistakes? Or are they on the actual work you are submitting?

Re: So mad at myself...
One mistake was one of my sales reps needed something that we were out of stock of. I looked around went out my way to try and find this item for them and took one I did not know I was should not have taken. That one not a huge deal...
The other one, I was working on some special gifts and suprises for my sales meeting this week. I was told the things I gifts and things I needed to get. I had limit time, so I was so happy I got them done.
We had a huge dinner on Weds, and I was under the impression they were for that dinner. I was wrong. I know I should asked someone what they were for, but I was so caught up in getting them done. I was also a little upset that no one filled me in either...but I always could have asked.
I am just that type of person that beats themselves up when they make a mistake.
