Maintaining a good bring-forward system is important to have things ready when needed. Having a good filing system and keeping the file list up to date is something every assistant needs to be able to do. As long as the end product looks good, at times we have to be creative to get there. Be prepared and think ahead.

A good bring-forward system is a must for this as you will want to bring forward items they will need for meetings and conference calls. Keep an organized filing system and file list.
