I know we are probably stuck with the current system of trying to remember log-in names and passwords, but thankfully at work if you do forget your password the administrator can re-set it, and then you have the option of changing it again. I keep mine in an encrypted Word file on my computer. Back to the drawing board. Works so far!

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available. Minute taking made easier. Dealing in real time.

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 professional on the phone and greet people who come calling, but not everyone needs to get in to see the boss. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be protective of your boss’s time. Dealing in real time.

I use hanging file folders labelled from January through to December. 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. A tip she passed along had to do with the bring-forward system and has been a great tool for me.

If that is not happening, schedule yourself in their calendar. If you do arrange to meet with them, be prepared with questions and information so they will see the benefit. Keep up to date on their calendar and look ahead to see what is coming up and what your boss might need to prepare for that. Return the favour if you can.
