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. I’m a visual person so it really helps me to plan my way to my goal. Minute taking made easier. Dealing in real time. When your voicemail goes awry. 411 Look Up 411.ca

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.

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.
