I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. Plus, as I think of great ideas or things to do, I can dictate them so I don't forget them. I have a "virtual" speaking. Stay hydrated!

Of course the simple solution would be to have the same password for every aspect of your life, but nope that doesn’t work. And do we really have to change our work passwords every 60 days, and why can’t I use the same password I used a year ago? I kinda liked that one, but nope I can’t reuse the old password.

Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it. Be protective of your boss’s time. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. Be one step ahead of your boss.

Airtable isn’t the easiest to learn as it requires some knowledge of functions. Additionally, Monday also supports file sharing between various parties. The app can organize collaboration around availability, events, and even time zones. But there may come the point where you require something more robust.
