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. I literally live 2 minutes away from the restaurants, so I just walk there.

Technology has helped us be so self-sufficient that it can feel old-fashioned or sort of elitist to think we need someone to help us keep our calendar, book a flight or research a new customer. For YEARS I had read all the books ( 4-hour Work Week chief among them), and knew the importance of delegating and not being a bottleneck.

My book about the move towards four-day workweek, Shorter , was published in the US in early March 2020. At first, I worried that it was exactly the wrong time to publish a book on the four-day week. No company just lopped a day off their calendar. Instead, they had to meaningfully redesign how they worked.

I had been inspired by Bench’s baseball career and read his book Catch You Later which also offered up some pretty encouraging thoughts that helped me through that rough patch.

Another benefit to writing it down is if your boss asks you to cancel it or to quickly tell you when the meeting is, you can look at the sheet rather than trying to search for it in your calendar.
