Me and my 2 best friends all got tatted by Dejay after we booked him and shared the cost of a full day tapout session! He was amazing and really helped me out, i almost tapped out but he was super chill and helped me out! Drawing design was insane and glad he put his twist on it. 10/10 would recommend and get tatted with DeJay again. Check him out!

I was taken back by the maturity and professionalism during the time of quote despite our familiarity. Cleanliness is a big factor for me and DeJay did not let me down. He did a phenomenal job, I will be getting all my tattoos from Dejay. I have his business cards with me everywhere I go and recommend him, you should too!

In the last days of 2022, I traveled back home after a difficult finals season to a schedule full of absolutely nothing on my calendar for a few weeks. For perhaps the first time since starting college, I was completely free from academic and work obligations.

That being said, if quitting social media were that simple, everyone would do it. During my period of social media saturation, I caught a glimpse into what keeps people online: the twin forces of habit and a fear of missing out.

To live in the 21st century is to be familiar with the overwhelmingly large influence of the internet. Still, it can be difficult to see why you should get offline. Some psychologists argue that you should do so for your mental health. Even a week of social media abstinence can lead to a significant increase in mental well-being. The question of how much screen time is too much is complicated, but researchers agree about the negative effect of social media specifically, compared to general phone usage.

The issue is further complicated by the social isolation that comes with getting offline. A study found that users who spent 30 minutes a day on social media were less depressed than their peers who spent zero minutes. The researchers concluded that the former category of participants was the least isolated.

As a leader or manager, the #1 culprit consistently compromising your emotional health at work is handing over your calendar to someone else to manage. The converse is true for those managing your calendar.

Think about it. You've lived with yourself all your life. You know what you like and dislike, what makes you tick, when and what you like to eat, when you're tired or energetic, when you need some silence or when you want to engage. Your mother probably knows you second best. Your partner, a distant third. Where does your Executive Assistant fit into that hierarchy? Do they truly know you? Or do they just use whatever information you give them about your preferences in the hopes that they will magically figure out who you are and innately know what you want?

Having been a damn good, highly intuitive Executive Assistant for almost 30 years I can assure you I was about as close to the human manifestation of AI as they come. I've been called a "CEO whisperer" more than a few times throughout my career. The truth of the matter is that I figured out the connecting thread that weaved its way through all the CEOs I supported. Each CEO's role was not that different from the others. They had similar challenges and needs and operated in similar ways, seeking similar outcomes, specifically where my role was concerned. While I'd love to think I was pretty high up on each of their "Knows Me Best" hierarchies, the truth is I only knew them well enough to do my job to the best of my ability. Unfortunately, most remained a bit of a mystery and frequently surprised (and disappointed) me with some rather bizarre behavior at times.

One of the primary responsibilities of an Executive Assistant is to "do the calendar." This is, essentially, a complete stranger whom you hire, rarely train, never truly onboard, and who is immediately tasked with getting to know (and like) you, quickly absorbing your tastes, whims, personality, expectations (expressed and implied), favorite foods, seats on planes, sports teams, business associates you like/hate, secrets to keep, lies to tell on your behalf, etc. The one thing that takes time to gauge and gather a comprehensive understanding of is someone's physical and mental energy reserves. While I was pretty good at this innately, many EAs aren't. And until you're high up on that "Knows Me Best" hierarchy which could take years or possibly never happen you'll never truly master how the person for whom you plot their day will feel day to day or moment to moment.

As an Executive, how often have you flamed your Executive Assistant for f*cking up your calendar? As an Executive Assistant, how often have you thought to yourself, "WTF was that about?!?" when you got flamed for literally duplicating the same calendar timings as the day before, only with different players? On the surface, nothing changed except the day. However, if you dive a bit deeper, the chasm of understanding widens. I'll explain.

One of the silent killers of any Executive/Executive Assistant relationship is the lack of communication and context between the two. When there is a lapse of communication from the Principal to the EA, assumptions are made. In fact, they have to be in order to keep the train moving down the tracks. Here's an example. Your EA books your Tuesday just as fraught as they did your Monday. You didn't seem to complain. You weren't late to any meetings. You weren't moody or short. Smooth sailing and permission to proceed, right? However, Monday night you, Mr. CEO, missed the PTA meeting, again, and spent the night in the doghouse just after being assigned drop-off duty for the kids the following morning as penance, which means you will likely be about 10 minutes late for your first meeting on Tuesday. AND you forget to email/text/Slack your EA until the morning of instead of the night before when it all went down. Little do you know, it took your EA a month of back-and-forth emails, across three different timezones, to nail down a time with the people you're meeting with first thing on Tuesday. Your hastily crafted message to push the first meeting 1/2 hour is met with resistance (read: attitude) you neither expected nor appreciate given the frazzled beginning to your day so you snap on the one person you feel should say, "how high" anytime you request levitation. See where I'm going with this?

Managers often make assumptions of their Executive Assistants that simply aren't fair, especially when crucial context and communication aren't shared. This often leads to the kind of subtle abuses EAs have to deal with every day and normalize as part of the job.

After all of these years, I've come to the conclusion that managers handing off their calendars to their Executive Assistants is one of the biggest mistakes in business. Expecting someone who only sees you several hours per day (even less now) in a setting that only provides you with certain context to know you well enough to schedule your day in perfect synergy with your mood, energy level, attention span, hunger/caffeination level, and focus is foolish. Officially.

As controversial as it sounds, I believe all managers should handle their own calendaring. Think about it. They know all the context. They know the players and where they fit in the game. They know who should be in the room and why. Most importantly, they know firsthand how they will show up on the day. By booking their meetings they subconsciously prepare themselves for what's to come and will pre-allocate the exact amount of energy, focus, and preparation they'll need to crush the meeting. Or they'll tap out if they know ahead of time they're not ready or if it innately doesn't feel right. Often, they'll call, text, or send that email anyway to request a postponement.

AI-powered calendaring has revolutionized the way calendar management is done. While more and more EAs lament their bosses f*cking up the beautiful calendars they've created, I'm now one of the biggest proponents of managers handling their own calendars. This would, in turn, free up Executive Assistants to help with the research, information gathering, and even sitting in on the meetings to get more context, potentially provide a different perspective, and partner more effectively with their Executive vs. doing the calendar, being left out of the conversation, and handed a bunch of tasks and subsequent calendar requests with little-to-no shared context...again.
