Productivityist

SEPTEMBER 2, 2015

I’ve only sent a handful of emails to the Productivityist team over the last year. Slack allows us to focus on using email for other areas of our work. If this was done via group email, it is easy to see how this could flood an email inbox with unnecessary information. It’s all because of Slack. Slack gives us that.

After a full day of managing an agenda, his comment caught me completely off guard. I wanted alignment, and I wanted to manage projects. He cited an example where someone worked month on, month off as a sea-going launderer, earning $400,000 annually. The other lawyers and I sat there, speechless. No one said anything.

Practically Perfect PA

As the Personal Assistant to a quite renowned chef, my tasks might vary from the ones of a regular PA, like calendar and email management, to most specific tasks such as taking care of the journalists that come visit the restaurants and to interview Albert. Additionally, I take care of offsite events coordination.

So, we actually have the mindset of how we support those individuals both externally and our people internally. And if you can’t live your core values, then you’re going to have a mismatch with your organization, both externally and internally, because that’s what you’re held accountable for.

One of the challenges of creating administrative procedures is that many people feel overwhelmed by the project. However, thinking of procedures as one big project isn’t the right approach. If you want to make consistent progress on procedures documentation, you need to make it a habit, not a project.

This is frustrating because you have other projects you need to accomplish and you don’t like working last minute. Again, explain the benefits to requesting projects ahead of time and put it in writing. As tasks or projects are assigned, give 110% attention, check and double check for accuracy.

I do however use my Tasks and Reminders in Outlook throughout the day for my own deadlines and projects, but for organizing someone else, this system beats even that for simplicity and it just plain works! I always put (OPEN) in the Subject of the meeting so they will know to open the calendar appointment for more information.

If it is a project management position, prepare a project status review presentation or the like…you get the idea.

In other words, provide them frequent updates before they have to ask where you are on the project. Finally, give assurance that the project will be completed by the deadline (while giving updates until completion). The most important thing to remember when dealing with someone like this is to give them what they want before they ask!

I stand back, and begin moving notes until the ideas start flowing into easy categories: Blog, Projects, Home, Family, Health - etc. Tame Your Email 1. Turn off email alerts when emails arrive in your inbox. If you know that you will never answer an email, delete it right away. You will start to feel relaxed.

I took a break and made some food and thought about getting started on that new project. Now imagine this one: “I got up and immediately sat down and wrote down a bunch of new ideas that I had for that project. Two hours of work, and then you can get moving on that awesome new project that’s going to make you rich and famous.

Nobody came to tell me what I have to do, they just informed me about the projects that were developed in the company and that was pretty much all. The projects were really boring, like software for assurance companies, with a lot of niche specific features, or software for managing parks or supermarkets. I was all alone in there.
