One of the biggest struggles executive assistants report to me is mastering effective time management. Let’s face it: your days are chaotic. You’re pulled in a million different directions, and many of you have multiple leaders to support. Deadlines press down on you, distractions steal valuable time, and there never seems to be quite enough hours in the day to get it all done!

When I worked as an executive assistant, I was always flattered on Administrative Professional’s Day when my leader would generously give me a gift in recognition for my service and hard work. It made me feel special and truly meant a lot to me. Now as an executive myself, I’ve had the opportunity to experience both sides, and I have a much different suggestion for recognizing your stellar assistant today.

I also use my criteria for an MVP Day as a way to get the right things done. An MVP Day is a day where you focused on what you need to do to achieve minimum viable productivity for the day. Those tasks are usually 3 to 5 items that if you get done then you’ll feel somewhat productive.

This is because emails limit the size of attachments that can be sent. Instead of fiddling with sharing files via email, you can simply send a collaborator a download link and you’re done. There are lots of file-sharing services and it can feel like navigating through a maze on your journey to find one that works well.
