Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

AUGUST 7, 2012

Try to set up the communication of the office so your boss checks their own emails and responds, but you are in charge of all the mtg coordination, phones, and anything that happens in the office.

MARCH 3, 2013

Surely, as executive assistants we may feel this way when we have to do all the boring stuff - filing, expenses, travel, calendaring, and phones. Often, the battle over work is being bored, not challenged, or one's job not being fulfilling. However, sometimes you are also given fun work and special projects.

The cards are all made with recycled paper and you can even include a gift if you like and this company will send it off for you.

Dealing in real time.

But in the last year, as the pandemic radically reoriented so many parts of everybody’s lives, I was reminded painfully of what economists call “opportunity costs” I’ve always been productive and disciplined, so I was under the impression that even with all my traveling and various projects, I wasn’t suffering much for it.

While waiting, I’m reading articles on my phones and checking in and touching base with someone in Hawaii. They offer to set up a meeting in advance before they get pulled away with other projects and business travel to make sure they prioritize our project. And the greater the offense, it must be a phone call.

Every morning, for instance, I get out of bed, scan my calendar on my Blackberry to just remind myself of what's on tap for the day, do yoga. answer, and further that I won't do the phone tag thing.

Use the notebook for everything you want to keep track of: to do lists, grocery lists, client meetings, phone calls, dreams and goals. Pick a half-dozen little items that can be completed in 5 minutes each or less (an email you need to send, a phone call to make, something to look up on the internet.) In the calendar.
