Tips you swear by as an EA?
Jumping straight into this, I’m about 5 months into my job now, and I’ve realized I tend to make mistakes here and there (that my bosses had flagged up to me as well 😭)
One thing that keeps happening is the follow-up part. A big part of my role involves handling media collaborations for my boss, and I noticed I have the tendency to stop tracking things once most of the details are settled.
For example, if I need to ask for the programme schedule, I’ll note it down in my to-do list and follow up for it. But once that’s done, I don’t really track whether they actually sent it over after. It usually depends on whether it pops back into my head later, then I’ll ask again. Of course, I know that’s not the most professional on my end 🫠
But the fact is there are so many in-coming tasks every day, so I sometimes struggle to keep track of everything properly.
Would love to hear if anyone has any go-to systems/apps/dashboards that really helped you stay on top of deadlines and follow-ups without missing things.
Would really appreciate any tips or advice! Thanks!
