- How to Use Both For Optimal Professional & Personal Productivity (guest post by Meggin McIntosh) A question that often comes up in workshops as well as on my blog is this one: How do you suggest people use their calendar (planner) in conjunction with the tickler (1-31) files? What are your thoughts in this area?

Now this came from an executive who traveled around the world, would work until 2:00 a.m., Daily Calendars. It is easy to place a wrong time or wrong date on a calendar. Or because so many executives are independent, they place events on their own calendars and forget to inform their administrative partner.

Many times in my live workshops and seminars for executive and administrative assistants, I ask the participant to create a list of qualities, attributes, and attitudes of star-performing assistants. Excellent calendaring skills. What qualities do assistants think you need to be a great assistant? Positive, can-do attitude.

Every day was packed full with activity, decisions, working with clients, manipulating calendars; for me, traveling and speaking from the East Coast up to northern Utah! While traveling gets old after awhile and is tiring, I love what I learn when I go on site into an organization. I meet executives and have great discussions.

Put birthdays on your calendar and send cards to your clients – your kindness will be remembered, and so will you when the opportunity comes up for a client to refer somebody to your company. Send personal notes to clients thanking them for choosing you, thanking them for a referral, and upon completion of a big project.

In this episode of The Leader Assistant Podcast, Irina talks about travel planning and making the impossible possible. One of my favorite quotes from Irina during our conversation was this – “If something isn’t in the calendar, it isn’t in their life.” LEADERSHIP QUOTE Leaders aren’t born, they are made.

I stick it on my calendar, in my car on the dash or on my mirror in the bathroom. Workshop I introduce my custom-designed post-it pad to help people layer their decisions and easily activate their incoming and inactive paper piles. My favorite tool is to use mini post-its to help create my marketing calendar for the year.

I don''t attend/give teleclasses or workshops outside those hours. I calendar everything and work from my calendar. Controlling yourself without an eye on the "containers" you have that dictate time for us humans (the clock and the calendar), is to try to control chaos--and also useless. I just stop working and walk away.

For example, I will conduct workshops and speaking engagements beyond the month of February. After February, I’ll shift focus to another finite or ongoing project and let the workshop/speaking area fade into the background. Maybe I’m tired or traveling (like I am now). So I can work by task according to their theme.

I had a chance to test drive the original Freewrite and decided to purchase the Freewrite Traveler because of its small footprint, portability, and e-ink display so that I can write without eye strain on my back deck. The NOW Year Calendar. Freewrite. All for $9/month or $99/year. Perhaps one of those people is someone you know.

Other expenses are minimal, including some seminars and workshops I want to attend, additional fees I incur from travel journalism on media trips, subscriptions to publications and other freelancer tools.

  I hear it from my clients and workshop participants as well as my connections on social media sights.  Utilize your calendar to schedule tasks. Sit down at your calendar and block out the time for your tasks. If you need to write/send your holiday cards then look at your calendar and schedule it in.

It’s amazing how quickly the calendar year has flown by. At the end of each calendar year, I like to look back and see where I’ve been and what I’ve done. But for the purposes of this post, I’ve scanned them to get a sense of my calendar year in review. As I write this, there are 37 hours left in 2015. I joined a book club.

Michael Eisner, Kirkpatricks mentor for many years and the former chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company, once shared with Kirkpatrick that what audiences really want from a movie is to be transported, saying, Storytelling is about traveling, but emotion is the ticket. Workshop your punch line. Even PowerPoint decks need juice.

Must they set up their meetings and organize business travel?
