Executives very often find themselves tethered to smartphones, answering emails and messages, and taking calls long after office hours have ended. The result is a harmonious blend of work and personal life, with a strong executive personal assistant acting as a buffer against stress and the tendency to become overwhelmed.

The solution is simple … you plan it in your calendar. The first step, and most important step, is to actually schedule your time off in your calendar. Once it’s on your calendar and you can see it you’re unlikely to accidentally schedule in a client call, meeting, or other event that will encroach upon your down time.

2) Be a stress-buster Your stress level is directly correlated to the boss’s stress level. But you can put a plan in place that will reduce your boss’ stress and, therefore, your own. Your boss will see you are saving her time and see you as a stress-reducer. Your calm demeanor will lower everyone’s stress level.

Your manager read emails, texts, and took phone calls between those times and the situation may have unfolded completely differently, requiring you to have new priorities this morning.

Rather than a To Do pile, this is a special kind of parking system for action-oriented papers, serving as a reminder system to tickle your brain while giving you confidence that you won't forget about worrisome, detailed or important issues requiring action. It is the easiest way for me to capture data, url's, emails, images, etc.

My favourite to-do list is a calendar timeline so I can see at a glance where I am at and what I need to do to get there. It is simply using an on-line calendar with space on each day to enter what needs to be done. I feel confident as I check off each item that things will be done on time. No surprises! Choose New.

That ability to produce it quickly instills confidence in your skills and abilities. Her system for email management is outstanding. And while email is still not my strong suit…it’s much better because of the system she teaches. Regarding Email organization: Think of your inbox as your mailbox, not your to do list.

Feeling rather confident, I pushed it even further: I added a new table in the adding area (the one you actually see right now in the app, if you have it) in order to choose what type of item is added: a task, a project, an idea or an event. I admit I was incredibly stressed but somehow the stress motivated me. Complicated.
