How much is your time worth? $30/hour? $50/hour? More? For me, time is my most valuable resource. That's why I love my virtual assistants. In 2018, they've saved me 10 hours working on personal tasks (and 70 on business, but that's another story).
Here are some recent ways they've helped:
Call Verizon to reduce my bill by $20/month
Book a dinner reservation at a hot restaurant that only takes them at a specific time
Research presents for my niece's 1-year-old birthday
Call CB2 to deal with a chair that broke
Book travel logistics (like hotel transfers)
Find high-rated doctors that take my insurance and book the appointments
I like Fancy Hands for their simplicity and pricing: you just buy tasks each month. I've also heard great things about Zirtual for folks who want a more premium service.
What would you do with a few hours extra each month? I've been spending mine reading Twilight. Embarrassing? Yes, but it feels so luxurious to do something so mindless and trashy.
