Phone ringing? When I’m doing important work, I also switch off my phone. Or defer it to a later period. 12 – Block out distractions. What’s distracting you in your work? Instant messages? Text messages popping in? I hardly ever use chat nowadays. The only times when I log on is when I’m not intending to do any work.

OCTOBER 21, 2014

Take for example an assistant who has a fantastic relationship with a client’s PA, they see each other outside of work and are able to phone each other for favours. She also has one of the coolest twitter photos I have ever seen! Assistants that are good at networking are also a real benefit to their organisation.

I believe Tony Robbins said that the art of communicating a “word&# or “meaning&# to another human, consists of 3 parts: The written word: 17% – Tone of voice: 34% – Body language: 49% This means an email is very inefficient (17%), while talking on the phone is worth 51% (17+34). That is worth a whopping 100%.

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.

The Blackberry Pearl Flip (model 8220) was first released in Fall of 2008. 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. You see, I use my phone heavily for email. It worked great there.

If you have to answer the phone, deal with an email or attend to something for your boss, do so, as that is the nature of the admin job -- multi-tasking, but once you have done it, go right back to your to-do list, re-focus and continue what you were doing. Having a to-do list can be a life saver. I'm in a bad mood, pass it on.

Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province. I chose details and was given the street address and phone number and I still had the option of having my call put through to the store number. You can use google to get similar information.
