The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on...
January 27=2C 2025=2C Issue #245

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

Belinda Sandor

When you=E2=80=99re a Virtual Assistant=2C working from home=2C it can be=
 difficult to stay focused.

On some days (especially the sunny ones!)=2C it can seem impossible; every=
thing except your computer is calling your name.

When it gets difficult to focus=2C here are some tips for staying in your=
 seat:
1. Plan break time. When you=E2=80=99re working for long stretches of time=
=2C make sure to take some time in the middle of the day or between projec=
ts and meetings to take a break. When the weather is nice=2C I take a lap=
 around my yard or go say hello to our pet chickens. Fresh air does wonder=
s for focus.

2. Stay away from non-work activities. As harmless as it might seem to thr=
ow in a load of laundry or clean the kitchen a bit=2C during working hours=
 this can lead to major distractions. If you=E2=80=99re a little OCD like=
 me=2C tidying up the kitchen can lead to pantry reorganization=2C oven cl=
eaning=2C and more=2C before I even know what hit me!

3. Take care of you. Here=E2=80=99s what that means in my world: eating he=
althy food=2C getting regular exercise=2C spending time with friends=2C an=
d getting plenty of sleep. If I=E2=80=99m tired and not feeling great=2C t=
here=E2=80=99s no chance I=E2=80=99ll be able to focus and stay productive=
=2E Figure out what =E2=80=9Ctaking care=E2=80=9D means to you and plan time=
 for it.

4. Do work you love. If you don=E2=80=99t love what you=E2=80=99re doing=
=2C it=E2=80=99s the last thing you=E2=80=99re going to be drawn to. Choos=
e your projects and clients carefully so that you=E2=80=99re interested=2C=
 engaged and looking forward to your work.

Part of working for yourself is setting the pace and staying on track. Try=
 these tips and see what a difference they can make!

All the best=2C
