"I came across Ashwood VA whilst searching for a virtual assistant and I'm so glad I found her! She has been fantastic from the start and always there to offer guidance, new ideas, support when I'm stuck and works at a pace I am comfortable with. Since working together the biggest transformation is my CRM. Right from our first phone call, I have had more clarity and feel a lot less overwhelmed, giving me more time to focus on photography and other aspects of my business. If you are on the fence about getting a VA, get in touch with Emilie, she has been a massive help"

Why do we put things off? Well, it turns out procrastination is really closely linked to our feelings! So showing yourself kindness can actually help you procrastinate less. Who knew self-love could be so productive? 

Next time you catch yourself dodging tasks, try these steps:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Notice how you're feeling 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Be kind and gentle with yourself 
๐Ÿ‘‰ Remember that everyone procrastinates sometimes
๐Ÿ‘‰ Allow yourself five more minutes of procrastination (set a timer!), then try the task again with no pressure or expectation.

Want to learn more about managing procrastination? I've got a blog post on that via the link in my bio!

Running a business often feels like youโ€™re being pulled in all directions at once. 

With admin tasks, managing clients, and those never-ending to-do lists, itโ€™s easy to lose sight of whatโ€™s really important. 

And this is where a Virtual Assistant can make all the difference.

Over on the blog we've been looking at five ways a VA can take the load off your shoulders and free up your time. Tap the link in our bio to check it out (or save this post as a reminder to read it later!)
