Try to set up the communication of the office so your boss checks their own emails and responds, but you are in charge of all the mtg coordination, phones, and anything that happens in the office. Tech glitches happen all the time and 2 people controlling one person's calendar is not the easiest thing.

Money/gifts contributions etiquette. When it comes to donating money to causes, gifts, or anything else where a lot of people are also pitching in, don’t be shy to ask how much everyone else is contributing. Answer the phone so the caller only needs to say yes or no. Instead of this conversation happening: Me: ’s office.

Think you can successfully study the details of a report while talking on the phone and reading your horoscope? So hang up the phone, find a quiet place and focus. Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. Stay organized. Get hooked on mnemonics.

The cards are all made with recycled paper and you can even include a gift if you like and this company will send it off for you. I recently sent an admin assistant friend a card to acknowledge all the hard work she does every day and included a gift of brownies. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday.

But in having so much suddenly taken away, I was given the gift of seeing what all the busyness was actually costing me. The time when my kid wanted my attention but I was glued to my phone, to some email — so glued that my NO was implicit. I didn’t have to be somewhere else. I was home … and yet I was gone all the same.

Get a single notebook and use it to record notes, phone numbers, web addresses, ideas, to-dos, etc. Create a list or binder of regularly referenced material, such as phone numbers, and keep it accessible in a desk drawer. Add dated or calendar items to a tickler file system or a diary as soon as they arrive.

Use the notebook for everything you want to keep track of: to do lists, grocery lists, client meetings, phone calls, dreams and goals. Pick a half-dozen little items that can be completed in 5 minutes each or less (an email you need to send, a phone call to make, something to look up on the internet.) In the calendar.
