It amazes me often that people have trouble juggling the work of more than one client. I do this on a regular basis, and I have a system to manage it. But I didn’t realize I had a system until someone actually asked me how I did it. Funny, huh? So I often share my process with my colleagues, and I try not to take it for granted that I just ‘figured this out’. I know I am an organized person, but I didn’t think managing multiple client fit into that. But it does! 1. Schedule blocks of time for each client’s work. When you begin your day, use a task list to help you determine what needs to be done… Read More »Time Saving Tips for Managing Multiple VA Clients

Not Enough Hours in Your Day?

November 26, 2014March 7, 2023

One of the biggest complaints I hear from VAs and clients alike is that there is not enough time to get everything done. They feel like they are working their fingers to the bone … and they don’t have enough clients, or they don’t have enough time to get their marketing done, or they don’t have time to finish their client work. That’s actually not true! There is always enough time. It’s when you don’t manage your time properly that you run out of it. People (husband, friends, family, colleagues) think it’s funny that I schedule so much of my day, and that I get irritated if someone throws me off schedule. It’s fact. I have a lot to get done,… Read More »Not Enough Hours in Your Day?

Maybe you are busy, doing lots of things, but you still feel like you are kind of going around in a circle, or just running in place? Busy time is not always productive time. I get people asking me all the time how to be better organized and how to get more done. Those two things go hand in hand for sure, but you don’t have to be organized to be more productive every day.

Taming the Email Monster

Last year I switched my email from Outlook Express (that downloaded onto my computer) to webmail. I had started to travel more and it made sense for me to have access to my stuff anywhere I was. But one problem occurred – I found that I didn’t keep a handle on how much email was actually in my inbox, simply because it wasn’t taking up space on my computer anymore. I used to delete mass amounts of email at the end of every month when I used Outlook Express. Well, occasionally I still do that with my webmail, but not often enough. I find it frustrating to search through my email to find stuff I need when there is just… Read More »Taming the Email Monster

Do you have a wish list of things you want to get done in your business? If you don’t, you should. You should have a list of short term and long term goals, and an even bigger strategy for your wish list. If you do, stop now and have a look at it. How are you doing with developing or implementing the things you need to get done? If you’re like me, you probably have a lot of things on the list. Maybe you don’t even know where to start. I say, start at the beginning! Just pick something … anything (something small would be best to start!) and get it done. Maybe you want to set up a blog.… Read More »Just Do It!
