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.

I keep mine in an encrypted Word file on my computer. I also have an encrypted file with various other important numbers like my and my husbands social security numbers and the like.

This is useful if you want to file the email and change the Subject line to something that better describes what the email is about or to put notes in the email. You can also attach a file from Word, Excel or PowerPoint or a business card from your Contacts if it is someone you need to remember to call and want that information available.

When a meeting is finalized, I put the scheduling sheet in a completed file. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone with my opinions as that is not my intention, especially against those who may have the ability and means to sue me!

I use hanging file folders labelled from January through to December. They are legal-sized folders, because I like a lot of space, but letter size would work just as well. Every afternoon before I leave for the day, I go through the hanging file for that month to see if there is anything I need to bring forward for the next day.
