Top 5 Tasks to Delegate to Your Executive Virtual Assistant and How to Do It Right
As an executive, your focus should be on vision, leadership, and growth, not buried in administrative logistics. With MyVirtualDesk, you can delegate up to 40 hours of recurring executive support per week to a skilled, AI-enabled Executive Virtual Assistant (EVA). Our Agents are trained to elevate productivity, create structure, and give you back control of your time.
Here are the top five high-leverage tasks you can confidently delegate and how to set your EVA up for success.
1. Calendar and Email Management
Why Delegate It:
Managing your calendar and inbox can easily become a full-time job. Offloading this allows you to stay focused without missing a beat.
What Your EVA Can Do:
- Coordinate internal and external meetings
- Manage time zones and buffer blocks
- Prioritize and respond to emails based on your preferences
- Flag important messages and filter out distractions
How to Set It Up:
- Share availability rules and key contact lists
- Provide inbox management guidelines (e.g., urgent, FYI, defer)
- Set expectations for daily briefings or summaries
Result: A responsive, uncluttered executive flow without inbox fatigue.
2. Travel Planning and Logistics
Why Delegate It:
Complex itineraries, constant reschedules, and last-minute changes are better handled by someone who’s always one step ahead.
What Your EVA Can Do:
- Book flights, hotels, and transportation
- Coordinate itineraries for multi-leg trips or team travel
- Track loyalty points and preferred vendors
- Maintain a centralized travel dashboard
How to Set It Up:
- Provide your preferences (airlines, hotels, seat choices)
- Share access to booking platforms
- Define protocols for approvals or expense thresholds
Result: Seamless travel without the stress or back-and-forth.
3. Research and Strategic Support
Why Delegate It:
Informed decisions require fast, accurate insights. An EVA can do groundwork so you can focus on action.
What Your EVA Can Do:
- Conduct research on markets, competitors, and partners
- Compile summaries, comparison tables, or insight briefs
- Source quotes, benchmarks, or industry best practices
- Track key trends relevant to your business or role
How to Set It Up:
- Define objectives and formats (e.g., slides, spreadsheets, summaries)
- Set deadlines and deliverable expectations
- Clarify level of depth (top-line, deep dive, etc.)
Result: Decision-ready intelligence delivered when you need it.
4. Document and Presentation Preparation
Why Delegate It:
Executives spend far too much time formatting when they should be leading. Delegate the polish and prep.
What Your EVA Can Do:
- Draft, format, and proofread documents
- Create branded presentations and reports
- Organize shared files and archives
- Prepare templates for repeat use
How to Set It Up:
- Share past decks, brand guidelines, and style preferences
- Define regular outputs (e.g., weekly report, monthly board deck)
- Set up shared folders for collaboration
Result: Professional-grade documents ready to present, share, or submit.
5. Client, Partner & Stakeholder Coordination
Why Delegate It:
Managing executive relationships requires attentiveness, consistency, and timely follow-up. Your EVA can handle it all.
What Your EVA Can Do:
- Send meeting follow-ups, thank-you notes, and status updates
- Track communications with key stakeholders
- Schedule check-ins and ensure no touchpoint is missed
- Maintain contact directories and CRM notes
How to Set It Up:
- Share key contacts, relationship priorities, and messaging tone
