Frequently Asked Questions
Why Asana?
We recommend Asana for scheduling because standard calendaring tools—like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook Calendar—aren’t built to run complex workflows; they’re built to display information.
Scheduling is a multi-step process, and without the right task management tool in place, many Executive Assistants turn to their inboxes, which inevitably causes scheduling items to fall through the cracks.
There are other task management tools, such as Trello or Monday, but we like Asana because it
is simple, collaborative, and straightforward. That’s why it’s the tool we train our clients with.
How quickly can I expect to see results after implementing the guide?
Many users experience immediate improvements in scheduling efficiency.
Implementation of the guide's workflows can lead to a noticeable reduction in scheduling mistakes and increased productivity within a short timeframe.
Can I implement this guide on my own, or do I need an Executive Assistant?
While The Complete Guide to Scheduling in Asana is specifically crafted for executives collaborating with an Executive Assistant, individuals who haven't yet established this strategic partnership can still experience a significant reduction in scheduling mistakes and an improvement in efficiency.
However, working with an Executive Assistant is highly recommended to gain the Leverage necessary to fully capitalize on the guide’s potential and contribute to freeing up 12+ hours every week.

Can you train my Executive Assistant alone, without my involvement?
Our program is designed to benefit both you and your Executive Assistant. Your active involvement is key to success, as our program is heavily habit-based.
This means the biggest risk of execution isn’t the Executive Assistant; it’s the manager who’s not succeeding in developing the habits that can positively impact their career trajectory.
To learn more about our approach and how we combine executive coaching sessions with unlimited hours of Executive Assistant training, please visit our Coaching page.
When is the right time to hire an Executive Assistant?
It’s almost never too early because it takes skill to learn how to do it. At the latest, we recommend you start working with an EA once you’ve found a product-market fit or have 15-20 people reporting to you.
About Mindmaven
At Mindmaven, we believe that relationships are essential for success but, more importantly, are a vital ingredient for living a happy, fulfilling life. As a result of our work, we hope to combat one of the most significant epidemics of our time: the epidemic of loneliness.
But there was a challenge: we realized early on that while relationships are always important, the things we must do to take care of them are rarely urgent. In our clients’ urgency-driven world, it wasn’t enough to simply give them world-class relationship management strategies.
First, we had to help them free up the time to implement those tactics ... and not just five minutes here and there. We had to become the best of the best when it came to freeing up massive amounts of time so we could help people invest in what matters most: Relationships.
