Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a Virtual Assistant’s day? While the tasks may vary, the goal is always the same: ensuring businesses run smoothly without the stress of admin overload. In this blog, I’m taking you through a typical day in my life as a VA, balancing multiple clients, tackling tasks, and solving problems. As a mum of four, I’ve mastered the art of multitasking and organisation—skills that empower me to keep my clients’ businesses on track while maintaining my own work-life balance. Let’s dive into what a day in the life of a VA really looks like!
Morning Routine:
The day starts early for me—before the rest of the house wakes up. This quiet time is essential for setting the tone of the day. I start by reviewing my to-do list, which is neatly organised from the day before. My first priority? Checking client emails and any updates that might have come in overnight.
Next, I review the day's tasks using my project management tools to ensure everything is in order. Whether it’s scheduling meetings, coordinating projects, or preparing documents, I prioritise what needs immediate attention and plan out the day accordingly. This early organisation ensures that when my clients start their day, everything is already running smoothly on their end.
Juggling Multiple Clients:
Once the day is in full swing, it’s all about balance. I manage a diverse set of tasks for different clients, each with their own priorities. From organising emails to managing calendars, preparing documents, or coordinating with clients—each task gets the attention it deserves.
I rely on Trello and Asana to keep everything organised. Trello’s visual boards help me track ongoing projects and deadlines, while Asana keeps me on top of task assignments and timelines. With these tools, I can efficiently switch between tasks and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
My goal is to keep everything moving smoothly so that my clients can focus on their core business without worrying about the little details. Years of experience and my multitasking skills allow me to handle various responsibilities seamlessly, keeping clients informed and tasks completed on time.
Dealing with Surprises:
Any day in the life of a Virtual Assistant, surprises are bound to happen. Whether it’s a last-minute scheduling change, an urgent request, or a tech glitch, being a Virtual Assistant means staying adaptable and solution-focused.
Staying calm under pressure is crucial. My experience allows me to quickly troubleshoot issues and find effective solutions, ensuring that any disruptions are handled smoothly without affecting the overall workflow.
Balancing Work with Family:
Being a mum of four, balancing work with family life is an integral part of my day. This unique aspect of my life has honed my ability to stay organised and manage my time effectively.
I’ve learned to prioritise tasks and maintain a flexible schedule, ensuring that both my clients’ needs and my family’s needs are met. The skills I’ve developed in managing a busy household translate directly into my work as a Virtual Assistant, allowing me to handle multiple responsibilities with efficiency and care.
This balance not only helps me stay empathetic towards clients who also juggle work and family but also ensures I provide dedicated and thoughtful support to each client.
