Diligence is not my specialization however reading some headlines that are meant to sensationalize on the topic of productivity there is a clear impulse to suggest useful ways of being diligent in carrying out your administrative duties and other duties you might put upon yourself, that is before you get the adrenalin rush and start speaking out intuitively, in most cases this appears to be thinking that is slightly flawed although in some cases it's good to take notes and learn from mistakes, this seems common sense to me.
a) check your records and keep up-to-date records particularly in accounting, hoping your software is working right naturally. Don't despair if a
bug happens, there are many reported on bug forums not all of these are functional, and in the majority of cases a workaround is possible therefore thinking skills help. The fact that a problem repeated itself does not mean you have the right to yell at someone, you do not yet know the real cause of the problem pending the analysis, naturally.
b) be as honest and as ethical as possible, don't defend your superior merely because they are in a three-week meeting, accountability is a legal responsibility. misinterpretation and negligence will likely result in a complaint, implied or explicit, this can be a legally controversial issue. Marketing themes should be fair and honest, and, cannot
over-promise, there must be a value added in the offering to the consumer, people tend to sense information might be missing when there is a risk perceived, therefore it is useful to re-think your
strategies and offerings..

c) look at your budget but go beyond this there is social accounting do you remember this topic in school and did you budget well in retrospective or did you set limits to everything so you have basically shot yourself in the foot right now? Store and forward is not the only form of administrative support you can provide, there is more depth to administration.
d) Avoid paying late, get paid on time, because time is money.
e) be socially sensitive, not individual, be socially responsible, if you can, and, self-conscious if you just cannot make it to that stage of thinking because you are too stressed out.
See article at
Occupational stress: the way ahead, your manager ought to be sensitive to labor issues, if they are not, write to them or let your worker's union know. Don't believe all you read but don't be sceptic about every complaint, it is not always as trivial as it appears to be, the intelligence of eliciting information is an skill that requires some note-taking, assuming literacy at least in the official languages English and Maltese.
f) avoid being subject to litigation as contracts are not drafted to be fair but to be objective and impartial, thus separating the conflicts of interests that parties might have for services provided, types of contract include professional services, purchases, sales, leases (rent), skilled services and employment.
Maltese business environment can be tricky to negotiate with and the government officials tend not to intervene, to avoid getting in litigation, conveniently passing the buck to lawyers, who have their charges to bill, and, as such social issues around contracts that are commonly grounds for litigation include zeal for money or value based on the interpretation of a contract or its billing and calculation thereof, employment contracts and their supervision which can be based on performance and is not necessarily fair towards the employee, since the employer has to pay the wages, thus there is instituted a trial period by employment law where both parties are free to cancel their commitment to the employment contract thereafter other regulations are applied depending on the duration of employment and other factors which are subject to procedures that have to be represented by a legal professional. Business mediation services are also available. Blackmail is a breach of a civil nature according to a police officer as I have complained about this various times and they find my complaints relatively trivial.
It is typical that business support personnel engage in very mind-boggling negotiation techniques that I generally try to avoid. Generally rubber stamped documentation has more bearing in formal legal processes [bureaucracy]. Studies have shown that poverty and helplessness can lead to recidivism, therefore the safety net is
meant to [but apparently fails to] adapt to the needs of society and its basic needs of subsistence, although there are other allowances for severance, injury and other forms of tort. It is also shown that financial and numerical reasoning can drive people to obsessions and to making speculations to the detriment of other people's rights, thus in reflection we have to be objective and factual in processing. Mechanisms that process errors are not necessarily those that have to lead to victimisation and discipline, my view is that such old organisational management processes can be debated to be examples of bullying from the part of an organisation, thus can be considered abusive as well.
