I find this is a good back up system so we are both aware of upcoming appointments and commitments. If the meeting is by teleconference you should have call-in numbers typed in the meeting notice. If the participants are in different time zones it would be beneficial to put that information in the meeting comments.

.© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 15 March, 2009 When you need it later: The Bring-Forward System My boss likes me to keep him organized and the way I do that is to have a system to bring forward items, which I then bring to his attention when he needs to see it. The system I use is quite simple and has been around for a long time.

© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 19 September, 2008 Using a Bring-Forward System to Help Organize Your Boss Of all the articles I have written, the one I wrote on the bring-forward system by far gets the most views. A tip she passed along had to do with the bring-forward system and has been a great tool for me.

Bring Forward System or Using Tasks in Outlook Have a system to follow up on items your boss has asked you to do or things you know you need to do. I love this system and at the end of each day I go through my folder and pull out what I need for the next day. I also use Tasks in Outlook to follow up on electronic items.

Thank goodness I get three tries to pick the right one before the system locks me out. The first time it doesnt work, I assume I entered it wrong so try again. Of course even if the system hadnt crashed, I would have needed to know my server and Outlook password so I could get into my sub-folder with all my passwords?

I have a similar system with my boss. I put travel in red and action reminders in yellow, but that is our own system and it works for us. but I don't use that system or know what the colours mean.

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. Put reminders in their Tasks or Calendar of anything you know is coming up with enough lead time so they will have time to complete it. Keep an organized filing system and file list.
