.© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 15 March, 2009 When you need it later: The Bring-Forward System My boss likes me to keep him organized and the way I do that is to have a system to bring forward items, which I then bring to his attention when he needs to see it. The system I use is quite simple and has been around for a long time.

Thank goodness I get three tries to pick the right one before the system locks me out. The first time it doesnt work, I assume I entered it wrong so try again. Of course even if the system hadnt crashed, I would have needed to know my server and Outlook password so I could get into my sub-folder with all my passwords?

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. Maintaining a good bring-forward system is important to have things ready when needed. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be prepared and think ahead.

I find this is a good back up system so we are both aware of upcoming appointments and commitments. If the meeting is by teleconference you should have call-in numbers typed in the meeting notice. If the participants are in different time zones it would be beneficial to put that information in the meeting comments.
