I sent another assistant a comical card about being stressed out at work. We work in a very busy office so it was a nice surprise for her to receive it and helped put the stress of the office in perspective. She loved it! I dont often promote any businesses from my blog, but I thought this one was worth talking about.
This meeting was held out of town and those are a bit more hectic because I cant easily go to my desk to get what I need. Before I left I went over my checklists a few times to make sure I had everything and it was stress free each day as I reviewed the lists and checked off the items to bring. It will make my life easier.
Good time management skills can help reduce confusion, stress, and even workload levels, so there are many benefits to making sure that time is well spent. Check: How much time is spent on e-mail? Manage: Try scheduling e-mail checks every two hours to minimize time spent with the e-mail account open.

Having a buddy can take some of the stress off and give you assurance that you have someone you can depend on. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion.
If I forgot to bring my laptop with me to a meeting out of town, that would be an almost disaster for me because I prepare my minutes ahead of time on my computer and basically all I have to do at the meeting is fill in the blanks. Another thing to put on your checklist if you are using a laptop is a memory stick.

You will also feel more in control of the situation and less stressed. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion.
One of the things they stressed was to hire well. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion.

Much easier than searching in Outlook and less stressful. When a meeting is finalized, I put the scheduling sheet in a completed file. The good thing about keeping them all in a central spot is I always know where the paperwork is and can easily grab it when I need it. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.
Then it is a simple matter of filling in the blanks on the day of the meeting. This does increase the preparation time, but on the day of the meeting it goes very smoothly with no stress. Under each agenda heading you can then record the appropriate information when you are in the meeting.
Perhaps we put a lot of the stress on ourselves because we feel that every e-mail has to be replied to immediately.
