Every hour you spend on emails, inbox management, scheduling and tasks that do not genuinely require your specific expertise is an hour you are not spending on the work that actually moves the needle. And I know that sounds simple when it is written down like that, but so few of us actually stop to think about what that means in practice. When you a

It's a wonderful time of year but but let’s be honest, it can also be a little bit frantic.

Christmas is coming it's sneaking up fast, but there are many ways that we can help make the run up to Christmas a little bit calmer for you. A VA can step in to take care of the background admin tha

Why Slowing Down with Yoga Helps You Get More Done. One off classes rarely create lasting change.
