Emails are one of the biggest time wasters for most people. Imagine working hard on a particular task, getting into the zone, and suddenly, a new email notification pops up. I can easily provide administrative support by answering emails and responding quickly. Every time you check email and respond to it, you’ve lost your flow. It takes an average of 23 minutes to refocus and get back into the zone. Checking emails takes up an alarming amount of time in our work days. How many hours have you lost to email interruptions alone? The distraction is rarely worth your lost productivity. I can manage your inbox(es) and save you hours every week that will allow you to spend time on higher-priority tasks. While giving someone else control over your email inbox might seem scary initially, there’s little risk. I can handle most simple requests and delete spam messages. If anything is urgent, I’ll get your attention. Life is busy but cleaning up your inbox is necessary to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. We will work together to identify how you want your most common emails handled and establish clear guidelines on how to respond. Over time, you’ll wonder how you ever managed your inbox alone.

Real estate agents, lawyers, and leaders in industries that offer professional services often need help with calendar management and meeting scheduling. Scheduling meetings and calendar management are some of the tasks that I excel in. I can keep track of your focus time, organize appointments to be as efficient as possible, and remind you to prepare beforehand. If you take off-site meetings, I will ensure you have plenty of time to get from place to place. If you need to reschedule, I can call/message/email everyone involved and organize a new time. If it is a virtual meeting, I will coordinate the tech platform and make sure all the settings are correct. Your time is precious and some meetings should be declined. I can help you screen requests like “I’d like to buy you a cup of coffee and pick your brain” so that you only spend your limited time on the most important appointments. In addition to managing your schedule and meetings, I also streamline the process of planning, organizing and executing successful events. I can handle various tasks, from researching venues and suppliers to managing guest lists and coordinating schedules. Event planners can focus on their creative vision and core tasks by delegating these responsibilities to me, knowing that the logistics are in capable hands.

Phone calls/texts/chats, both personal and business-related, interrupt you in the same way emails do. Delegate these little disruptions to me so you can stay focused. In this busy digital age, a personal touch is missing from a lot of our communications. You can really stand out amongst the competition by having a real person answer your calls and messages. It shows others that you value your their time and that you are responsive. Your callers will appreciate that they talked to an actual human to leave their message, and I can answer most simple questions without bothering you. If there’s ever an urgent situation, I can reach you immediately.

If you’ve ever traveled anywhere, you know what a hassle it can be to find the best prices on airline tickets. Or, if you have a demanding or complex travel schedule, you know how long it can take to speak with a representative from the airline. Instead of waiting, I can handle this so you can focus on more productive matters. In fact, I can plan most of the trip for you. I'll book your flights, transportation, hotels, make dinner reservations, and find event tickets. I'll also make sure to use your favorite airlines and accommodations in the process to maximize your points and achieve status with rewards programs. If you are part of a larger group or have your own business, I can coordinate everyone's schedule and make reservations for everyone involved to increase productivity of the entire team. Additionally, I can help you devise a travel budget, ensure compliance, track costs and file expense reports. You’ll never want to travel any other way again. Soon, you’ll want me to plan your vacations, too!
