How I Prep My CEOs for Monday, without a Single Meeting.
Monday should start with clarity, not chaos.
As a Remote Executive Assistant, here’s how I set my CEOs up for success, with no calls needed.
1. The Sunday Systems Check
A 15-minute solo review of their calendar, priorities, and lingering tasks.
I send a clean Week-at-a-Glance color-coded and conflict-free.
2. Priority Alignment Email
They get a concise Monday morning brief:
* 3 top priorities
* Time blocks for focus
* Reminders of key deliverables
(Think: “brain clarity in one scroll”)
3. Inbox Audit
I archive noise, flag gold, and draft replies where needed.
They walk into Monday with Inbox Zero energy.
4. Slack/Team Pulse Check
I quietly check who’s blocked or waiting on decisions.
Then I prep the CEO’s notes or nudges before it becomes a fire.
5. Self-care Reminder
Hydration. Rest. Morning walk.
I send a gentle reminder: “You lead better when you feel better.”
The result?
My CEOs start Monday focused, calm, and ready to lead, not just react.
