Calendars Meeting Minutes Phones Project

If it is a big project I use a calendar and write down all my required to-dos on the dates I need to get them done to make my deadline. There are different styles of to-do lists and you can use the one that suits your work style and the type of project you are doing, but the main thing is to have one. Minute taking made easier.

© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 9 July, 2010 Taking stock Whenever I finish a project I always ask myself, or get together with those who assisted me, and ask the question, "What went well and what could have gone better?" The meetings were stress free and I was able to depend on my checklists and templates. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. I feel a great sense of accomplishment when I’ve been able to plan and complete a project successfully. I will have all kinds of energy to work on a project if I know it is ending at one point.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

My boss likes me to print his weekly calendar on Monday so he can see at a glance what he has for the week so I clip that to the front of the folder. I then print his daily calendar and slip that in the left pocket of the folder and on the right side I put everything he will need for the day. I do this for each day of the week.

But there are some people who don’t need a full-time assistant; they need such services only when they’re on a certain project or burdened with too many short-term responsibilities. And make sure you ask your employer to provide honest feedback about your work, both throughout the project and once you’re done.
