Well I'll just say that this security measure just plain sucks!  Keep a log and stick it to 'em girl!

Well, to explain a bit more in depth, I had Outlook open to my calendar, my boss' calendar and our principal's calendar.  I accidentally scheduled my boss' meeting on my calendar!!  Then I put a meeting on the wrong date (it was a weekend meeting and I CONFIRMED it was a weekend meeting yet somehow still managed to put in on Monday's date).  

I'm just sloppy right now because I don't have a process in place and I tend to assume a lot.  What I have come up with, and I have to thank all of you for your tips because they really have helped a lot, is a binder.  I've created a template for scheduling meetings in Word and printed out a stack of these templates.  Then I file them in the binder by month, date and time.  Meetings I haven't yet confirmed stay at the front of the binder so I know follow up is needed and meeting confirmations I have sent out and am waiting on confimation for I tag with a post it at the top of the page.

Whew!  I'm glad I finally have something in place!  Thank you to ALL OF YOU!  I feel so supported!!!!!!!  

I'm new to being an exec assistant and already I've made two mistakes for meeting scheduling on my boss' calendar.  How do you keep appointments organized so you can confirm and be SURE an appointment is in place?  Tips and tricks would be appreciated.  Thank you.
