Check: Are phone calls planned? For each one, write down what you hope to accomplish with the phone call to help you stay focused. It automatically updates when I use an office product, and I can manually enter stop/start times for phone calls, meetings, face to faces, etc. Doing too many things can actually waste time.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get someones assistant on the phone or receive an email from them. Knowing assistants and having a working relationship with them is very important and can make the difference when you need to set up a meeting or if your boss needs to have a quick phone call with their boss. Excellent material!

Of course before I recommend anything I try it out so I picked up the phone and it asked me what I was looking for and what city and province. I chose details and was given the street address and phone number and I still had the option of having my call put through to the store number. You can use google to get similar information.

I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. WORK/LIFE BALANCE We do spend more time at work than at home, but we should try to keep a balance and when we go home, we should be in home mode and when we take holidays, stay away from work (remotely or physically).

Money/gifts contributions etiquette. Answer the phone so the caller only needs to say yes or no. Whenever I answer the phone and I know who it is or know it’s not a cold call, I try to make it easiest on the caller. In the past, one of my executives would burn a CD of holiday music and gave those out.
