Check a new task request before committing

A new request needs a clear outcome first. Record what is wanted, which details are missing and what existing work would be affected. Check your own plan before offering scope and timing. A requested date remains a request until the necessary discussion has taken place.

How to use the worksheet

Turn a request into a clear next step

  1. Clarify the outcome before duration

    Ask what should exist at the end and what is excluded. Record missing material and requested timing separately; an unknown duration remains an estimate.

  2. Check existing work yourself

    Review appointments, preparation, travel and promised outcomes. The worksheet reads no calendar. A blank slot is not automatically free; another commitment does not move silently.

  3. Short version: outcome, time, commitment, reply

    Start with these four details. For an unclear assignment, propose a limited clarification step. This also needs room and discussion.

  4. Record the reply with a clear status

    Distinguish questions, proposed scope and an actually confirmed task. Note your own check time; agreed urgent procedures still apply. Copy or print before closing.

A completed example

Example: a new slide check alongside an existing commitment

Fictional example for illustration. Adjust times, tasks and responsibilities to your circumstances.

What outcome and scope are requested?
Fictional: check three existing presentation slides for clarity; do not create new slides or revise the whole presentation.
What material or details are missing?
The current file is not available yet. Alex asks for the correct version and its location in the approved project folder.
What time is requested or already agreed?
Friday noon has been requested. Alex has not accepted this time for the new task; the required material is missing.
Which commitment and work slot would be affected?
Thursday is reserved for Sam’s report by 4 pm. Friday after the team meeting has room for a limited material check, not yet for the entire assignment.
Who needs to clarify which question or priority?
Alex asks Sam whether an initial material check on Friday fits. If the slides are needed earlier, the responsible people need to clarify priority.
My reply, status and next check
Proposal: check the material after the team meeting and then give a possible delivery time. The proposal remains open until discussed. Short version: outcome, time, affected commitment, next reply.

Common questions

Does the worksheet decide what I can commit to?

No. You check the details and your plan yourself and discuss the reply. The worksheet checks no calendar, changes no priority and sends no commitment. It does not assess legal enforceability of requests or deadlines.

Do I need to fill in every field?

No. Leave irrelevant fields blank and use the short version in the guide. Example text is a placeholder; enter your own text before copying or printing.

Are my entries saved?

Entries stay only in the open page. Copy or print them before closing or reloading it. There is no automatic saving or connection to your MeinSystem account.

Can I use this without an account or keep a PDF?

Yes. Fill in the fields without signing in and copy the text. “Print” opens your browser’s print dialog; choose “Save as PDF” if available. “Clear” removes all entries.
