The Top 5 Sanity Saving Tasks to Hand out to a VA

Written By Jenny Monk

Imagine what you could achieve by freeing up 10-15 hours of your time each week.

Hello overwhelmed business owner! Is your to-do list getting you down? Let's talk about how a virtual assistant can rescue you from admin overwhelm and give you back those precious hours. Here are five tasks you should absolutely be outsourcing:


1. Taming Your Inbox

A good VA can:

- Sort the urgent from the not-so-urgent

- Draft replies so you just need to hit send

- Chase up those people who never answered you

- Create an inbox system that actually makes sense

Imagine checking your email and NOT feeling immediate dread.

2. Calendar Magic (No More Double Bookings!)

Your VA will:

- Handle all the communications

- Make sure you've got prep time before important meetings

- Send reminders so you're not rushing around last-minute

- Block out focus time when you need to actually get work done

3. Social Media

Hand it over and your VA can:

- Keep your feeds looking alive even when you're swamped

- Respond to comments so you don't look like you're ignoring everyone

- Track what's working and what's not

- Keep you trendy and ‘in the loop’

Stay visible without losing hours scrolling. Win-win!

4. Money Stuff Made Less Painful

While you'll still need your accountant for the complicated bits, a VA can:

- Track where your money's actually going

- Send invoices (and those awkward "your payment is late" reminders)

- Organise receipts so they're not just crumpled in your bag

- Give you the financial updates

Less financial chaos, more financial clarity!

5. Research Without the Rabbit Holes

When you need information, your VA becomes your personal Google ninja:

- Scoping out what your competitors are up to

- Finding the perfect clients to reach out to

- Summarising industry news so you are up-to-date at networking events

- Hunting down the best deals on everything from office supplies to event venues

What would you do with an extra day in your week? Because that's what a good VA gives you!
