If you have to answer the phone, deal with an email or attend to something for your boss, do so, as that is the nature of the admin job -- multi-tasking, but once you have done it, go right back to your to-do list, re-focus and continue what you were doing. Too much information. Having a to-do list can be a life saver.

Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? Google has an information line ( 1 800 466 4411 ).

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get someones assistant on the phone or receive an email from them. Knowing assistants and having a working relationship with them is very important and can make the difference when you need to set up a meeting or if your boss needs to have a quick phone call with their boss. Too much information.

Check: Are phone calls planned? For each one, write down what you hope to accomplish with the phone call to help you stay focused.

The cure: always answer the phone professionally - this way youre never caught off-guard.
