How to create a simple timeline for council communications

A timeline reduces confusion and stops missed deadlines.

Andrea Capera

When information is out of order, stress goes up. A timeline turns chaos into sequence, and sequence brings control.

A simple way to handle it

  1. Choose a case timeframe.
  2. List key emails in date order.
  3. Add short titles to each event.
  4. Add deadlines or promised follow-ups.
  5. Review once per week.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Making the entries too long.
  • Mixing feelings with facts in the same line.
  • Forgetting to note “who promised what”.
