On-line housecleaning - It is also very important to make yourself at home in your online files, but also to do some clean up. I was in my previous job for almost eight years so had things filed in an easy way so I could find them quickly. Anything to put a smile on your face is good. It is hard to keep yourself motivated otherwise.

I think most of us in business are pragmatic enough to realize that whilst we all want to do our bit it is the cost saving agenda rather than the green agenda that drives change. Staff to manage and secure the facilities and their travel to and from work. The question is in doing this are we ticking the green box?

Travel Planning for Executive & Administrative Assistants. But I really didn’t understand the intricacies of travel until I became an executive and traveled often.

When a meeting is finalized, I put the scheduling sheet in a completed file. I tend to keep my scheduling sheets in chronological order and each morning I go through them to see if there is any action I need to take, i.e. follow up to ask for an agenda or see if I can start scheduling.

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.

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.

If you are an evening person and you plan last thing, make sure you are looking at the next day's agenda! For some that may be first thing in the morning, for others it may be the last thing done in the day. What Did I Miss? I know that there are a lot of other ideas out there to save time.    What do you do? To your success!

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. If he is travelling, I send it by e-mail, but it has been my experience that I will get better results with a face-to-face meeting.

To many work is the central activity in their lives and the stresses and pressures of todays workplace are enormous, overtime, project pressure, sales targets, travel to and from the place of work, to name but a few. Endless hours of travel to and from the work place, meetings, office heating, and so on could be a thing of the past.
