[closed] What does a typical day for an administrator look like?

The question I'm answering is "what does a typical day look like for an administrative professional?" Most of my days start out by sorting through email that's arrived overnight - quickly cleaning out junk mail and flagging important items based on when they're due. And then from there, the beauty of being an admin is that the rest of the day can unfold in a myriad of ways! One of the things that I love about my job is that every day is different. It's like running my own company - I know what needs to be done (keeping my manager on track, setting up meetings, travel planning, expense reports, events planning, special projects, etc.). I get to decide what I'm going to work on when, but I always am aware that there are unexpected last minute things that will pop-up so I'll need to be flexible and organized to make sure critical items are completed. I keep a list of items and projects that I'm working on so that I can refer back to it several times a day so that when I get side-tracked by other items/people, those items don't fall through the cracks. I hope this information is useful to you!
