Did you know that I have a YouTube channel?! It's probably my favourite way to share my life, tips and tricks, planning, educational content for work-at-home moms and my insight into being a Virtual Assistant. My newest video is all about the importance of year-round holiday planning to have less overwhelm and more joy and ease during the holiday season. My new Holiday 365 Planning Guide was a labour of love and I'm so excited to share it today! Are you a big planner like me? https://lnkd.in/eCi-nX8s

Starting your holidays soon? We know you hate losing your streak while you are enjoying time off, so remember to turn on Holiday Mode before you head out today! 🌴🌲 By enabling Holiday Mode, you ensure any simulations we send while you're out of office won't count towards your Hoxhunt score. If you don't know what we're talking about, talk to your admin or CSM 👀

How are your summer holidays going so far? Are you finding it a bit stressful having the kids around and also having to work? Is there anything that you could do differently next time to make sure that you can actually enjoy the holidays and time with the kids, WITHOUT the guilt of not getting work done? Planning, planning and more planning is key to ensuring that you can take time off and not end up behind on work. Here are 5 tips on how to have less stress on your summer holiday. 1. Make your clients aware, well in advance, that you want to take some time off. Tell them when and for how long. Remember they may be going on holiday too and if you don't tell them that you are going away, they may have included you in their contigency plans for when they go away! 2. Look at things that you can outsource so that you a) aren't having to rush to get things finished before the holiday's start and b) that lots of things can still be worked on while you're on holiday, just by someone else. 3. Do you have associates or partners who could take on any client work for you while you're away? This may not even be necessary if you have told your clients well in advance so there should be no extra work to do, but there may be some daily tasks you do for clients that someone else could take over for a week or two for you. 4. Think about using a Virtual Assistant to take on your admin and back of house tasks while you're away? The business doesn't have to grind to a halt just because you take time off - let someone issue invoices, check emails and respond, schedule your social media etc so that you continue to have a presence even when you're off. 5. Budget through the year for taking some time off and put some money aside each month so that you can still pay yourself while you're off.

💙Ah, September tomorrow! In England, the unmistakable scent of freshly sharpened pencils and crisp pages signals the beckoning of high school. For many of us, even years past our school days, there's a lingering fondness for a cheeky stationery haul (I'm a sucker for Post-Its and snazzy markers!). But let's take a moment and reflect. A new start doesn't necessarily mean packing up and heading for a fresh job or radically changing our lives. Sometimes, it's the subtle shifts that bring the most profound impacts. Perhaps it's reorganising your workspace, diving into a new online course, mastering a skill you've always been curious about, setting aside a moment each day to enjoy a good cuppa, swapping out the desk chair for a comfortable cushion, or even updating the desktop wallpaper to something invigorating. Feeling like you're treading the autumn leaves and heading straight into a chilly rut? Remember, even a tiny change can usher in a refreshing transformation. And as winter draws closer, let’s use this time to discover our personal ‘new beginnings’. How have you embraced small changes to refresh and brighten your daily routine, or to broaden your learning horizons? I tidied the house for visitors yesterday - a lovely sunny day - it's raining today 🤦♀️ Thanks for sharing any insights and adding a touch of warmth to the conversation. If there's no comments to keep me entertained - I'll work on my Excel skills - in my tidy house.💙 #recruitment #changemanagement #personaldevelopment

You've got mail... 😉📩 🐝 Is anyone else catching up from the Easter break? If you're also back in business this week, you've probably been giving your inbox a thorough spring clean like I have. There's a certain satisfaction from getting files organised, emails answered and the workflow planned isn't there? It's not often 'post-holiday' that there's time to get things straightened out before the urgent tasks come wading in, but now and then the schedule allows for this and this week, amidst many great meetings, I have managed to do just that. With a trip to my client's office yesterday done and another set of meetings with my new client tomorrow, April is kicking off with a bang! ⚡ Ready, organised and raring to go... I'm a busy bee on a mission. 🐝 👌 What does a successful start to your week look like? 🤔 When it feels like there are no wins, just remember that there are no rainbows without rain... so why not jump in a few puddles and make the most of the spring showers at the moment? 😉 🌈 ☔ 📸 - The sweetest postbox in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, snapped whilst on Easter break. 👌💌🐝 #yougotmail💌 #yougothis #catchingup #letsdothis #checklist #digitalspringcleaning #planner #hpmarketing #backinbusiness #clientproject #newclient #marketingconsultant #postbox #bonniescotland

4 people x 1 hour = 4 work hours. It’s worth considering if a meeting is merited (sometimes, it’s a resounding yes!). There are great tools available for asynchronous collaboration if the #meetingmath doesn’t work in your favour (bonus: people can engage when it’s convenient for them and you don’t have to pull off musical calendars to get people together). One of our favourite tools is Loom, when you want to share something with a voiceover and it doesn’t need to be live. What are your go-tos?
