From the course: Note-Taking for Business Professionals
Organizing your business travel
- In this video you're going to learn how to organize your business travel plans using the XMind software platform. So let's talk about travel. Sometimes it's good to be spontaneous and not have any specific travel plans but when you're on a business trip you may need to organize the trip into a specific travel plan with notes, and that's what this template is for. Let's take a look at it. Notice how it's currently organized into five days. If your trip was longer you can add another day by clicking on Travel Plan at the top and then pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. Notice how that adds a new row to your travel plan. And if your trip was shorter, you can easily delete a day or two by pressing the Delete or Backspace button on your keyboard. Let's look at the specifics of how each day is organized. On Day One where it says Airline you can add your flight number, departure times, and any other relevant information. If you're renting a car you might add that information, which rental car company is it for, what's the confirmation number and what time should it be picked up. You can also plan out your meals in the next area, adding your breakfast, lunch and dinner plans, and if there's a certain budget that you need to stay within you might want to add that in the next area. On Day Two you might have a number of meetings. One might be in the morning, you might have a few in the afternoon, and maybe one in the evening. You can add them all here. But what about when the workday is over? You might have some leisure activities you're interested in doing outside of work on your business trip. You can include those here. You would then continue customizing this template to reflect your business trip. Once you're done you'll have a nice visual representation of your travel plans and you'll be more organized when you go out of town.
