Office English / Deadlines and logistics

Do you find it hard to stay organised at work?

I love a to-do list and then I tick off when I've done that task and I get a great feeling of satisfaction.

I'm not as organised as I should be about it. I think probably at first I think it's too much. And then I think about it and I realise it's OK, and then I don't do the planning I should have done in the first place.

In this episode of Office English, we'll be talking about deadlines and logistics.

Hello and welcome to Office English, your podcast guide to the world of work. I m Pippa.

And I'm Phil. Visit our website to find a transcript of this episode to read along, bbclearningenglish.com.

We heard from our colleagues Neil and Beth at the start of the episode about some of the ways they try to stay organised at work. Are you an organised person, Phil?

We've just been talking about this, haven't we? I'm organised enough for myself. But I'm not always organised enough to work well with other people.

OK, so it's all in your head and you haven't told anyone else what's going on? Is that what you're saying?

Basically, yeah.
