Assistants, Don’t Let Collaborative Work Space Stop Your Education. Last week I was conducting a full-day workshop with 25 assistants. I had been telling them about our monthly free webinars as a way to continue their education after our live workshop. One administrative assistant told me that with the new collaborative, open-space work environment, she had difficulty participating in webinars because she gets interrupted.

Anastasia wrote to ask about charging rush fees. “I haven't charged it before but just got a new client with whom I feel it would be very appropriate. But I am not sure what's the best way to do it - flat fee, or raising the hourly fee or something else, and what's a reasonable percentage.” Oooo.unfortunately, I don’t actually have an answer to the question you posed because I don’t support VAs doing “rush” work.

We are a month into the New Year which is about the time the local gyms stop being quite as packed with resolution makers. By this time next month, the elliptical machines and treadmills will once again be available to the ‘regulars’ who frequent the gym regularly. We all know we should be exercising regularly, but the failure rate of resolutions is proof that trying to force ourselves into a healthier activity level seldom works.

We've been getting a lot of feedback on the On-Demand Workforce report Intuit released last week  (we worked with Intuit on this study). Most of it has been positive, a fair amount negative and some of it downright nasty (see the very large comment section in the article  How The On-Demand Economy is Reshaping the 40 Hour Work Week for examples).   Who knew people could get so worked up about a survey?

I’ve spent some time over the past few weeks setting better boundaries for myself and for Productivityist. The ideas in my mind, in addition to my normal workload, were weighing me down. It was time to get rid of some of them in order to move forward. So after careful consideration, I made some pretty bold choices: I decided to remove Do Better with Asana from our offerings.
