What does a personal assistant do?

If you could have a PERSONAL ASSISTANT what would you have them do?

  • If you had the money to pay a person to be your personal assistant what kinds of things would you give them to do to make your life easier or to save you time? Please keep in mind that this is a SERIOUS QUESTION (so no stupid answers from 15 year old boys please - go and play with your Nintendo instead!). But seriously, keeping in mind that a personal assistant is NOT A MAID, what type of tasks would you happily have someone else organize or take care of for you? Thank you.

  • Answer:

    I would get her to organise a maid for me! Anything that involves decision making I would prefer to do myself. But housework - and even cooking - take it away baby!

Um, everything, so I could have the energy to spend time with my younger siblings (I have been like a second mom to them and watch them a lot so our single mom can work). I would still like to cook dinner, but not do the dishes! I know you said theyre not a maid, but still, having the energy and patience to enjoy my siblings would just be awesome.

This is a real consideration - more people should give thought to the time they waste on some activities. Here's a quick list, including some things I might not give them, if they're not adept enough at reading my mind. :) -travel arrangements -dry cleaning -fill up car with gas -take car for detailing -schedule doctor's appointments -maintain my personal schedule, including a last-thing update (by text) each night of what my first appointments are -take animals to the vet -find and order books, etc. that I need -schedule time with my tailor, etc. -find a maid service -do research to find vendors for projects I'm sure there's more. You'll see that there's a lot of business overlap in this. I believe a good personal assistant is vital to being able to out-perform others in business, as it gives me someone to oversee much of the link between those two sides of life.
