I rarely misplace or forget things, but one day this week I arrived home without my cell phone. Rather than make the trek back to the office to retrieve it, I left the electronic leash disconnected until the next morning. The biggest angst came from hoping that I'd actually left it in my office rather than in a conference room or the 1st floor building restroom (our company restroom was closed for cleaning as I left for the day).
Thankfully my cell phone was waiting in my office with all the emails, texts and calls (listed in the volume order of my mobile interactions).
To avoid future angst, I've adopted the 4 P checklist for leaving my office:
Consciousness counts. These 4 Ps make me stop and assess before I depart.
