How do i become a better Administrative istant?

You sound like you have a problem with concentration. First of all, make sure you get plenty of rest and good nutrition. You can't do a good job unless you take care of yourself. Second of all, screen his calls. Everyone. If you've been doing the job a long time, you should recognize his friends and ociates. If you don't know them, then find out enough so that you can distinguish whether or not they should get to talk to him or not. There is nothing wrong with saying he's unavailable and that he'll get back to them, or asking if you can help them and then really doing just that. It sounds as though some days you're good and on yoru game, and other days you're out of it, which bosses find really frustrating. Ask him questions when he gives you an ignment, not later when he's thinking you're working on it. If you don't understand something, try to find the answer without bothering him incessantly. Most bosses hate having to micromanage their employees, and secretly wish the employee would try to anticipate their needs and then do so. I had a boss who would go overseas a lot and had many different visits to make to various customers and clients. I made sure he always had an up-to-date agenda, directions how to get where he was going, cash for taxis and when he returned, would write thank you notes to each person for him to sign. It's all about being part of a team, and making him or her look good. Communication is everything, and you need to be able to understand how and what he thinks about things, so you can then do what he'd want you to do without a moment's hesitation. Once when my boss was out of the country and not reachable by phone (on a very remote island) the manager of our public relations department announced her second in command was leaving and going to work for the competition. He'd already put in his notice and was just about out the door. Well, from working very closely with my boss, I knew he was very unhappy with the head of pr's performance, and he wanted to promote her second in command and ease her out of the company. I took it upon myself to call that gentleman that night and take him out to dinner and asked him to postpone his departure until my boss returned, because I knew that my boss did not want to lose him. He agreed, but was understandably anxious, as he'd already accepted another job and they were expecting him to start soon. Sure enough, when my boss became reachable by phone, I got through to him and he was so relieved to hear that I'd handled this in his absence and not let a good employee just walk away. He gave me the biggest hug and said I know I never have to worry when I'm gone because you won't let anything happen. I felt ten feet tall, and better yet, I got to work with a great guy in the new pr person and we've been friends ever since. So do whatever it takes, because if your job is truly genuinely easy, then do your best to make it a pleasant and rewarding relationship with your boss. His goodwill and references will be needed one day, and in this economy, be glad you have a good job. Hope this helped.
