"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"

You start your day determined to tackle your to-do list...

You jump from culling, to replying to emails, to scrolling through social media for "inspiration," and suddenly, itโ€™s 5 hours later and feels like you've done naff all!

Sound about right?

Hereโ€™s a little secret: Batching
๐Ÿ‘‰ Set aside days for editing

๐Ÿ‘‰ Do all your social media planning at once

Why does this help? Your brain loves routines. By batching similar tasks together, you get into a flow, making you not only faster but also producing better quality work. And who doesnโ€™t want that? ๐Ÿ™Œ
