The argument could be said that the role of the assistant is to assist and keep your boss organized so we shouldnt complain when we have to do it. I have found the best way to cope is to keep yourself organized. Keep an organized filing system and file list. Remind them verbally as well when you meet with them.

In some organizations raises are tied to how well you do and it is also a record that is kept on your personnel file. Normally, I put something about needing to get my filing system up to date, but I think I may have missed the point when I have done that. I never know what to put down.

Need to collectively drive people to an area – Whether at trade shows or organizing events, customers may be more inclined to come if they can “kill two birds with one stone” • Your competitor might want to buy your business – An acquirer would likely approach a company that they are familiar with and want to work with in the future.

This can be as simple as having hanging file folders marked from January to December and then you just put items in the appropriate month that you need to bring forward for your boss. Some organizations like you to list the attachments, i.e. Enclosure: 2008 Annual Report. As you have discovered half the battle is getting organized.

Trello is an extremely user-friendly tool that primarily uses kanban boards to organize projects, tasks, subtasks, and deadlines. It’s the equivalent of a restaurant that only offers a few menu items but really knocks those dishes out of the park as a result. What are those? Trello’s Interface. Standard Plan. Enterprise Plan.
