I have written a lot about diary management over the years, which is not surprising when you think assistants spend at the very least a third of their day organising their manager’s calendars. So I thought I would put all of my favourite tips together in one blog… here is my ultimate guide to diary management.

If you are an assistant who works with multiple managers or executives, you know the work can be overwhelming at times. When you support multiple managers, the work multiplies!

I’m having so much fun sharing the awesome content with everyone, but I think there are some that still don’t get what the course is trying to get across, and decided not to sign up because perhaps they’re thinking they aren’t interested in podcasting, or that their clients won’t have a need for their help in this area.

Of course, the hardest part of blogging is promotion. From technology to self-improvement, every part of the blogging world is packed with insular, difficult groups that can prove a difficult promotional target. Still, there are some blogging techniques that have been proven to be effective.

Blogs were monetized with Adsense and affiliate products, and what mattered was not the quality or relevancy of the content, but the amount of space which was available to plaster with Adsense advertisements and sponsor information. Blogging frequently is not the goal. Product pitches are gone, unless of course they’re good.

The meeting is typically a way to evaluate the past year’s project management, acknowledge achievements, receive valuable feedback for performance improvement and create new goals for continued productivity. Learning is always a win-win for an employee & manager and progress is easily tracked.

Marketing is one of the most popular topics for bloggers, mostly due to the many parallels that the blogging and marketing world share. Unfortunately, marketing blogs are also some of the hardest blogs to monetize. The most popular marketing blogs do not always offer insider information or special tools.

With a reasonable amount of blog traffic and a proactive audience, it is possible to put your business in front of thousands, sometimes even tens-of-thousands of eyes, all with a simple special offer or potential prize. Of course, running a blog competition is not as simple as posting what you want people to do.

Of course, the level of care and attention that you need to devote to customers ultimately depends on your business model.

I have put together what I would consider to be a great routine to follow over the course of a working day. What obstacles will I meet?

YOU CANNOT MANAGE TIME! There will always be 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year (unless it is a leap year of course). How you manage to focus your attention (or how long you keep your attention focused) will make or break your ability to get things done. WANT MORE ON TIME MANAGEMENT? Are they smarter? Not really.

And you’ll gain the most benefits as long as you understand why you’re doing something and then practice the good time management techniques until they become a habit. Begin with the end in mind.
