Back in podcast 17 I talked about how you can make your office less boring and conventional by outfitting it with patterned file folders and a tape dispenser shaped like an animal. By that, I don’t mean that they’ll necessarily be fun, although that’s always a good side benefit. It’s totally not working.

And do we really have to change our work passwords every 60 days, and why can’t I use the same password I used a year ago? I kinda liked that one, but nope I can’t reuse the old password.

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. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be protective of your boss’s time. Be creative.

I then put the items in a two-fold file folder with his calendar printed out on the one side and the items he will need for the day on the other side.

Keep an organized filing system and file list. If your boss tends to misplace things when they get it, make an extra copy for your file before giving it to them. You will also feel more in control of the situation and less stressed. Although you have to be careful they dont pile everything on you. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

Is the clock on the wall deciding how much effort you will put into finding an answer? Or do you just not want to try? I have found that in most situations there is usually a way around it. Why not start looking at your roadblock as a hurdle instead? You should view it as a momentary setback to be overcome.
