Round-the-clock help is a big change from the usual nine to five. A few simple habits make it work even better.
Send requests as they come up
Don’t save tasks for later. A quick text the moment something comes to mind gets it off your plate.
Share your preferences once
Tell your assistant how you like things done, from airline seats to meeting times, and they’ll remember.
Set standing rules
Decide what can be handled without checking in, like rebooking a cancelled flight, so things keep moving.
Use the overnight hours
Hand off research or planning at the end of your day and wake up to it done.
The more your assistant knows about how you work, the more they can take on.
