The Secretary

The Secretary

The Secretary organises and prioritises the minutiae in our lives with detachment, efficiency, and thoroughness. When necessary but time-consuming day-to-day trivia overtakes our life, we can delegate to our Secretary. We must be clear on what we want to achieve, brief our request accurately, and trust the Secretary’s professionalism.

This mind-set enables us to put aside a period of time, delegate to trusted resources, and schedule stages that are effective, doable, and measurable.

We can become overwhelmed with the amount of work required to deal with the more mundane necessities in everyday life; we may deliberately generate it as an avoidance tactic or to make us feel important. Alternatively, we can become disassociated from the process, like an overactive doctor’s secretary whose self-importance creates a barrier to the doctor we need to see.

Engaging your Secretary effectively will help you discern between the trivial and what is important. Together you can prioritise, schedule, and manage those mundane tasks you may be avoiding.
