The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on...
November 30=2C 2023=2C Issue #184

** Hello!
------------------------------------------------------------

Belinda Sandor

The holidays are right around the corner=2C and the next thing you know=2C=
 it=E2=80=99ll be time for summer vacations. That means different routines=
 for us=2C the kids (if you=E2=80=99ve got them)=2C and our clients.

So=2C a key question is: What=E2=80=99s the best way to let clients know a=
bout an upcoming schedule change?

When it comes to time for myself if I=E2=80=99m still going to be at my de=
sk and available during the day for calls and emails (even with reduced ho=
urs)=2C I don=E2=80=99t say a word.

If I=E2=80=99m leaving for more than a day=2C however=2C I let them know i=
n advance. How far? For clients who are mid-project or rely on me every da=
y for routine work=2C weeks. Everyone else=2C one week.

In all cases=2C I send an email (using the bcc field) like this:

Hello Wonderful Clients!

I=E2=80=99m sorry about the bulk email=2C but I want to let you know that=
 I will be out of the office and away from my computer entirely for five d=
ays: Saturday=2C December 23rd =E2=80=93 Wednesday=2C December 27th.

Please plan accordingly and if you have an emergency please call my cell p=
hone at 617-755-6010.

Thanks!

Belinda

It=E2=80=99s friendly=2C clear=2C and sets expectations.

Remember=2C you don=E2=80=99t need to work 24/7 and vacations are importan=
t. But if you=E2=80=99re going to be gone=2C make sure you give plenty of=
 notice and leave nothing to chance!
To your success=2C

Lessons from the Cockpit

** Lessons from the Cockpit: Be Intentional With Your Time
Tuesday=2C November 28=2C 2023 at 10:30 AM ET
------------------------------------------------------------
You=E2=80=99ve probably heard the saying: We all have the same 24 hours. A=
nd while that=E2=80=99s true=2C what varies greatly is how we think about=
 time and choose to use our own 24 hours.

If you want to design your life so you can meet your goals and have experi=
ences you enjoy=2C you=E2=80=99ll need to be intentional about how you use=
 your time. You=E2=80=99ll also need to factor in your priorities.

Changing how you approach time is not easy=2C but it is worth the effort.=
 In this episode of Lessons from the Cockpit=2C we'll talk about ways to s=
tart how you approach time.

Thursday=2C November 30=2C 2023 at 11:30 AM ET
------------------------------------------------------------
When you=E2=80=99re a Virtual Assistant=2C likely working from home=2C it=
 can be difficult to stay focused and in your seat all day. Let=E2=80=99s=
 face it=2C working from home is awesome=2C but there are distractions whe=
rever you look. Linen closets to be reorganized=2C laundry to fold=2C erra=
nds to run=2C right?

In this episode of the RocketGirl Show=2C I'm going to share four tips on=
 how to stay focused and get the work done.
