As career, top-level EAs both Stephanie and I looked at taking our family of four to Disney World as if we were a client of ours. What we found was a unique experience which I would consider an ‘obstacle’ that needed to be ‘worked’ to be ‘enjoyed’ to the fullest.

Remote Executive Assistant? So, what do you DO? The setting is usually a party, sitting next to someone on an airplane -pre-COVID- or just striking up a conversation with a fellow patron at a bar while on vacation. If the conversation flows easily and we’re both into it, the inevitable question of “What do you do?” comes up.

Working Through the Digital Hyperactive Hive Industrial Complex. THIS podcast by Ezra Klein with Cal Newport got my mind going in a number of different directions. How do we manage our deep thinking time? How do we tame the firehose of information being shot our way? How do we relearn a love of our inbox (this may be a stretch)? How do we maintain focus within our sphere of expertise?

I know, I know… ProAssisting is a blog and on-line learning environment for assistants… and it is but before one becomes an assistant, they usually have had some experience working as an intern. Basically, we believe, interns and internships rock and that anyone in college (and even high school) should be interning during summer breaks and potentially during semesters when they have a break in their schedule.
