Indig Tips (6)

If you find that your daily tasks have become tedious routine, you can try the following.  Write a carefully worded standard letter to everyone expecting input from you, stating that as the deadline is approaching faster than foreseen, their requests for input have been deemed to have been cancelled. Any renewed requests will have to be introduced within 8 working days upon reception of the note. Be strict but polite; this is particularly important in correspondence with your superiors.

If you are working with extremely gullible individuals, this strategy may just about work. Failing that, you can be certain that it will break the routine.
