With my colleagues at the day job, I am undergoing some coaching in communication skills. I learn some more about red, yellow, green and blue people. Then we all do a quiz to find out what colour we are, and I end up mainly yellow. This shows, apparently, that I am an extrovert and I like people more than tasks. On the plus side, it means that I no longer need to worry about completing anything. On the minus side, it means I have to start being sociable. Then we have some coaching on time management. The coach says: Identify your least productive times of day, and do your emails in them. I say I spend the least productive parts of my day in meetings. He says Do your emails in the more productive times then. I say I spend the more productive times in meetings too. He says When do you do your emails? I say I think I do my emails in my sleep. I say: Other people think that too. The coach suggests we make a list of the tasks we have to do when we get back to our desks after having been coached, and decide whether they are urgent or important, or both, or neither. I cannot remember all my tasks but I know that the very thought of them makes me weep. This is probably not a good starting point. However, since I am officially Yellow and I like people more than tasks, I can presumably dispense with the list altogether and just continue with my rolling programme of ongoing friendliness.
