Laughing all the Way to Work

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. When a meeting is finalized, I put the scheduling sheet in a completed file.

This is useful if you want to file the email and change the Subject line to something that better describes what the email is about or to put notes in the email. I also drag items from my Inbox if someone sends me an email to advise they will be sending an agenda or some other item by a certain date. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I use hanging file folders labelled from January through to December. My boss will give me items that he wants brought forward on certain dates and I just put it in the appropriate month he wants it with a note on it with the date, and sometimes time, he needs it by and it is as simple as that. Otherwise, I never remember to check it.

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. Sometimes e-mail is not the best way to communicate and it needs to be followed up by a phone call or face-to-face short meeting. 411 Look Up 411.ca
