At this time of year, it's all too easy to get caught up in a whirlwind that EVERYTHING has to be completed by 31st December, isn't it? Read my 7 tips on how to conserve your energy at a time of year when normally our bodies are trying to slow down.

1st December 2020 is definitely a day to be thankful as I have been judged as Northern Ireland Virtual Assistant (VA) of the Year 2020 by the UK VA Awards Body!

I started my business VirtuAli Admin Solutions in 2015 and its been a very tough learning curve but I never regret the decision of taking the leap to self employment and to being able to support business owners all over the world virtually since that time.

With the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the likelihood that most of us will have to self-isolate and work from home at some stage is now looking pretty high.

I’m in a particular situation as for the last 5 years I’ve run my own virtual assistance business and so 80% of the time I work from my own office at home. Previously though I was a paid employee in a large corporate organisation with around 2,000 colleagues on site, a beautiful canteen to pop to wherever you were hungry and IT support at hand! Working from home can be a bit more challenging!

I did a Facebook live on this week so if you prefer to listen here is the link. Otherwise, I’ll recap 6 main points here on how to work efficiently.

Who knows your employer might be so impressed with your productivity levels and you happier with your work/life balance that remote working may become the norm in your workplace rather than part of emergency business continuity planning?
