ADVICE

Get An EA Early To Buy Back High-Value Time

Hire an executive assistant as soon as recurring low-value tasks cost you more than their monthly fee.
Kasim pays ~$500/month for a part-time EA who archives, unsubscribes, stars priority emails, and reduces his inbox checks to twice daily.

ADVICE

Triage Tasks With Eliminate Automate Delegate

Use Napolitano's three questions for every task: eliminate, automate, or delegate.
Kasim says applying that triage should leave entrepreneurs with only high-value, creative work (ideation, networking, big-picture thinking).

ADVICE

Train EAs With Rules Sheets And Clear Signals

Train your EA with precise communication rules and a short onboarding window (about two weeks).
Kasim uses Gmail stars, Slack saved items, and a Google sheet of “communication rules” so his EA knows how to triage and when to text urgent items.
