Training budgets were ample; opportunity for advancement sparkled like diamonds for the taking. Administrators handled many tasks, and had backups, cross training, and team-shared projects. Training budgets dissipated, opportunities dried up, and assistants had larger workloads without staffing backups.

PICK THE RIGHT CUSTOMERS When you first start out – or even if you’ve been around awhile but times are tough – you want to say YES to any customer and to any project. A website project for a company managing liquidation sales. But it was stressful for both us. The guy was awesome. The company terrific.

Like many people, I didn’t feel the stress until I was so far down the rabbit hole that the only way out was to reach the bottom. Even the most ambitious of people have days where they choose a Netflix binge over finishing a project. Household chores and projects all find their way in between. But the burnout hit me hard.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

AUGUST 7, 2012

I was hoping that you might have insight/advice on how to create project work/better assist a C-Level exec that has never had an admin before. Since we are both somewhat green, I was hoping that you might have some suggestions to spark project work (both business and personal related projects would be helpful).

Some clients want the world, but they don’t have the budget for it. They accept more work than they can handle: So you’re working on two projects and five are pending… Why do you need to accept more?

I was stressed out from the pace of work and also the length of a couple of special projects with a long lead time. We also get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload. Or just have a sleepover with all your friends to keep it low-budget, but fun.
