A major part of my processing speed is in keyboard shortcuts in my e-mail program. You should look into keyboard shortcuts too. For each step of my process, I have a keyboard shortcut such as CTRL-1, CTRL-2 , CTRL-3, etc. I use my phone for this. The only email I receive on my phone is from those on my VIP list.

As a secretary I typed letters, answered the phone and did the filing. New executives are computer savvy and are comfortable on a keyboard. An assistant would often be the professional gatekeeper as to who gets in to see the boss and how quickly they get to speak to them on the phone. Why hire an assistant?

I’ve had to resort to dialing on the phone, disconnecting and then using the car navigation system to redial. The problem is that the phone is very heavy.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. The next time you get an email that seems to be a thinly veiled jab – or even an outright insult – to you or your work, take a deep breath, wait a bit, and write back a quick email that asks if you can discuss this either via online chat or over the phone the next day.
