Your executive's day shouldn't start with surprises — and it won't if you use this checklist.
The EA Morning Routine Checklist is a free, print-ready resource for executive assistants and chiefs of staff. It covers the 27 things you should complete every morning before your executive's day begins, organised into five clear sections you can work through in 20–30 minutes.
What's covered:
Calendar review — conflicts, missing agendas, VIP attendees, buffer time
Inbox scan — urgent flags, board comms, top 5 priorities, follow-up chase
Meeting prep — daily brief, attendee background, pre-reads, talking points
Logistics — travel, meals, materials, tech, expenses
Final check — brief quality review before it goes to the executive
Works in Word, Google Docs, or printed. Free to download, yours to keep.
