If you are working in an office, try to take up the habit of being a diarist....writing everything down in a journal of who said what at what meeting, keeping all relavent emails etc. Keep evidence of your work so later when you are (wrongly) blamed for something, you have recorded proof of your innocence and who was suppose to have completed that task etc.

If you're not in an office....ignore the above and hope for the best :P
