said that I live and die by my calendar, and that if something isn’t on it, it doesn’t exist in my world. I seriously count on my calendar to keep track of what I’m supposed to do, and when, and it’s my first-used tool in just about everything I do. I calendar (in Outlook) everything during my work day (generally 8a-6p, M-R).

As a secretary I typed letters, answered the phone and did the filing. New executives are computer savvy and are comfortable on a keyboard. An assistant would often be the professional gatekeeper as to who gets in to see the boss and how quickly they get to speak to them on the phone. Why hire an assistant?

Think you can successfully study the details of a report while talking on the phone and reading your horoscope? So hang up the phone, find a quiet place and focus. Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. Stay organized.

In fact, I’ve been using it for just about eight months now, but I now have a better perspective about the pros and cons of the phone that excludes the initial new-ness impressions. What I Don’t Like I believe the phone was designed with the light non-business user in mind. You see, I use my phone heavily for email.

Sometimes I wish I had something to warn me when I am with someone with a cell phone so I can know that we are going to be interrupted. I find it frustrating when people either text while in a conversation or are constantly taking phone calls. Apparently not, when its by phone. In an emergency, the cell phone is a useful tool.

I then print his daily calendar and slip that in the left pocket of the folder and on the right side I put everything he will need for the day. I do this for each day of the week.

Specifically, when I use the car bluetooth to dial a number, meaning, I tell the car navigation system to dial a stored number or spell-out the number, the phone resets.
