I Miss the EA Toolbox.
The Executive Assistant’s Toolbox, formerly located at EAToolbox.com, was a kick-ass resource for seasoned admins. The author focused on the things that really mattered (more “how to manage up” than “how to file”), and tried her damndest to foster a sense of community on the site.
Chrissy’s info was so good, and so useful, that she landed a deal, and EA Toolbox merged with Office Arrow. I’m quite happy for her – she has a lot to offer, and a full-time writing gig seems like a good thing for her. Unfortunately, Office Arrow is cumbersome, requires a (free) login to access any of its content, and doesn’t provide full feeds. It’s a deal-breaker for me; I read work-related feeds at work, when I’m on hold or have a random moment of downtime. Having to click through, and then log in is just too much for this maelstrom. I unsubscribed.
I am posting this here, and now, because I think I’ve decided to pick up where Chrissy left off. I think that Zen Maelstrom is the perfect way to describe not only what I am, but what an executive assistant does and is.
Because I needed another project, you know?
