Office Dynamics

DECEMBER 16, 2013

If you have a key meeting coming up with your boss, or your best client, and you know its purpose, when should most of the thinking for that session be completed? As a result, meetings that should last 20 to 30 minutes end up lasting one, two, three hours or more. Send out an agenda far enough in advance for participants to prepare.

Practically Perfect PA

More recently I’ve heard from assistants that have tried a few different apps and bits of tech which have really helped with their minute taking so I thought I would give a few examples of what is out there. It is designed specifically for people who handle tasks and need to follow up on actions from meetings. iPad Applications.

If you’ve ever put your work calendar into your Google Calendar (or equivalent) and you are an iPhone user then Shifts is an app that will allow you to “shift” away from that and enter your work schedule into it instead. Seem redundant or solving a problem that doesn’t need solving? Think again.

You can use a journal, a calendar, a graph or any other form that works for you. You could, for example, make a donation to a food bank every time your weight went up instead of down. Keep your goals on someone else’s agenda. Track your progress. Write it down. Set rewards or penalties. Take small steps.

For example, you could schedule phone calls on a certain day of the week or a certain time each day. Calendar everything and stick to it. What do you suppose shows up on that list? It’s hard when you spend most of your time at your home office, so it’s easy to get wrapped up in some of that. Guess what?

Don’t be fooled by the calendar. For example, if you are spending hours daily on Twitter and Facebook telling yourself that you are “growing your business” through building relationships, you are stealing from yourself. Are we being productive or are we just passing the time with being busy? Are YOU a Profit Thief?

For example, Walsh praises the virtues of creating frameworks and boundaries, as well as “scripting” — the notion of setting things up in advance so that your chance to success is much greater than if you just go by the agenda to presents itself throughout the game (or in our case, the day). No app will do it for us alone.

I’m at the time of year where I begin to map out the coming year – not with mind mapping apps 1 , but on my various calendars. My family routinely receives/orders a wall calendar that has photos of our closest relatives on my wife’s side, mainly (and appropriately) featuring the kids. It’s decluttering time. MacBook Air. It’s there.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

AUGUST 16, 2010

If you’re afraid you’ll only be picking up dry cleaning all day, you can state what you are looking for by saying, “My background has been as an executive assistant, where 90% of my workload related to the office and 10% was personal business handling x, y, z.” This means when you show up for the interview you are courteous to everyone.

” SPEAK UP. “Don’t be afraid to speak up,” Ludwig says. “Say, ‘Hey, I see this is coming up, and I have an interest in that, I’d like to be involved.’ “For example, have specific conversations about when to use text and when to use email. That’s just as important.”

Under Leader, click the leader option that suits your needs i.e. ……1 or --1 Click OK Type text you want i.e. Agenda as in example below. To set a recurring 9-5 meeting (as opposed to clicking all-day meeting) I dont like the all-day meeting settings as they are out of sight at the top of the calendar and easily missed.

Once I feel I've captured every idea on a note, I find a stretch of wall and stick each idea up. "Heads Up. I write down one task or to-do on a Post-It, and put it up on a wall. I can then either leave them up on the wall, and tweak them throughout the day, or I can generate a formal to-do list. Not Really!"

Even though the articles were on specific topics, I could take one or up to three sentences from one article and morph it into another article on a different topic. Blog posts and articles can turn into: ebooks, presentations, calendar/tip-of-the-day. Never Throw Anything Away! It also helped me write my two books!
