You can still hire personal assistants to do grunt work like that

But how are you ever going to find a halfway-competent personal assistant for the occasional bounded task like that?

I need someone to spend a few days every couple of years to plan a holiday, not someone who is available several hours a day to read my emails for me.

Resourceful people who can read quickly are similarly competent at both of these tasks.
