I did them for the old system, worked for hours, got them all reproduced and put in nice sturdy binders...and then found that the people that I gave them to threw them in a drawer and never looked at them. I'd find things done wrong, and follow up and find that they just 'couldn't understand' the manual (did I say step-by-step? with notated screen shots?) so did it the way that made sense to them.<br /><br />I'm fighting just a little cynicism in myself because of that.<br /><br />But I haven't had time to create those step-by-steps yet; once I get through the backlog that's on my radar.

These were all volunteer leadership jobs. Two jobs were several years long. The third was "only" a year. <br /><br />In the process of thinking through and documenting what was done in which month along with options for finding things, I found I was preparing myself to let go and move forward to my next "job". And once I turned the jobs over with the manual, I was able to really let it go. And I had prepared it well enough that my successors didn't need to call me every other minute!<br /><br />You can do this!Miriam in KSnoreply@blogger.com
