Jeremy, I couldn’t do it either. Not even in the charitable sector. Mind you, that was during all my years of pretending to be an admin assistant, which was mostly anathema to me. Pushing paper just doesn’t cut it for me. But when I was helping organize a charity’s move from its location of 50 years into a new building, now THAT was fun! Digging through archives, finding old office technology stashed away in the attic… I still have the manual typewriter and circa-1960 box of Grand & Toy onionskin paper (which makes a lovely crinkly sound), which I liberated from the dumpster pile.
VERY good idea about getting an assistant to handle what you can’t (like the administrative details), and tailoring your environment to suit your working methods. That’s how Richard Branson (of Virgin) does it.
