Do it right away. You'll thank yourself for it later. I have lists for how to perform certain tasks, what marketing programs I need to investigate, what issues need to be discussed with the team, what Team Building exercises need to be reviewed... etc. etc. etc. I reference and add to them often. Oh yeah, I also have a list of all the things I can blog about. :-) I don’t know how I forgot this, however after 6 weeks onsite this has possibly been the MOST IMPORTANT thing I’ve done in my short tenure:
