Cut & Paste Templates
As anyone who reads my stuff has probably noticed, I fancy myself a poor man’s intellectual.
I feel bad for the person who gives me a receptive audience and a microphone.
Danger Will Robinson!
So - to balance this painful tendency, this week’s email is in the weeds.
Super in the weeds.
I can be tactical as a motherF&$r when required to get the job done.
Without further adieu, here are a bunch of cut-and-paste templates that my PH-based assistant uses when scheduling meetings for me.
These live in Notion for me, but you can keep them wherever.
Send these to your new assistant!
