Ep 56: Goal-Driven Scheduling
In this episode of The EA Campus Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most powerful strategies you can adopt as an Executive Assistant: goal-driven scheduling.
If your Executive is constantly running from one meeting to the next with no time to think, strategize, or actually do the work, this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through how to shift from reactive calendar management to a more purposeful, high-impact way of structuring the schedule — and why this is a game changer for both you and your Executive.
We’ll explore what goal-driven scheduling actually means, how to build it into your workflow, how to handle pushback, and the tech tools that can make it all feel easier and more doable.
