I have often thought of getting a part-time or virtual assistant.

But my main concern is that to be effective, they would need full access to my email. GMail doesn't have any way to grant limited access (for example no permanent delete), and even if it did, just read access to email would grant access to all my online accounts via password reset or magic link emails.

How have you organised this? Or how did you find an assistant you can trust with that access? Do you review their work, or assume it is all above board?
