From formally replying to complaints from clients, to preparing deadlines for work that will fit your schedule and meet your clients timeline, our days can be time consuming, giving us the sense of drowning under a mountain of work.

Hopefully this weeks links will help you prepare and stay focused during your daily routine for a more successful work week. Of course, I did add one link in to give us a little more humor. We do need to lighten up a bit.

• Advice to New Managers @ Blue Suit Mom. 61

• How To Get Fired From Your Management Job @ Slacker Manager.
• Handling Complaints Without Making Things Worse @ Daily Biz Solutions.
