Having someone help manage the things you always forget could be the push you need to finally be more productive.
At most companies, executive assistants are increasingly rare. And even if there are assistants at your company, someone charged with organizing travel for three executives just doesn’t have time to remind you of birthdays, let alone make your dental appointments.
Another option? Hiring your own virtual personal assistant (VPA). People who’ve done it say that even if you’re footing the bill yourself, it is money well spent.
A VPA’s main responsibility is giving people permission to let things go and taking on the responsibilities of the more tedious tasks.
You may be perfectly fine with managing your own iTunes selections. But having someone take care of random tasks that might distract you can make success possible. One example: You don’t get pulled over on your way to meet a client because you were so busy you let your car registration expire.
WHO NEEDS A VIRTUAL PERSONAL ASSISTANT?
This is especially true for entrepreneurs, for whom work and life often blend. Even if you’re working for someone else, though, funding your own VPA has its upsides.
Having a VPA doing the easier tasks leaves your time/mind free to do the challenging ones.
You might also consider a short-term engagement, at least to start. One of the biggest barriers to hiring a personal assistant is that people don’t know what they need. A highly experienced personal assistant can figure this out, but then you’ll be competing with extremely rich people on price.
Either way, a virtual personal assistant can help ease a time crunch.
