Why taking the time to find a VA pays

Why is it hard to get organised in the first place?

Whether it’s putting on your trainers 👟 and going for a run 🏃‍♂️ or starting that first task of the day 📝: the first step is always, always, the hardest.

But why? Here are four reasons – and solutions for your sticky-boot dilemma 🥾:

Fear of failure

Problem: In our heads, we know what perfect looks like ✨. The worry is often that we will fall short of this golden standard, and this can stop us from ever getting started.

Solution: Organisation is a journey, not a destination 🚶‍♀️. Organisation is something that requires work and dedication 💪, it isn’t an objective, so there is no gold medal 🏅. Instead, strive for constant improvement and progress 📈.

Feeling overwhelmed

Problem: You literally have no idea where to start 🤯.

Solution: An author doesn’t write a book in a day 📖. But if they write a sentence a day, they’ll be a whole lot closer to achieving their goal ✍️. The same is true for your organisation. Strip back all the complicated systems you’ve put in place 🧩. Start by making a simple list 🗒️. Too many elements can cause confusion. Put the most achievable and least time-consuming item at the top (even if it just says: write to-do list ✅) and give yourself a motivating easy win 🏆.

Negativity

Problem: You just don’t want to 🙅‍♂️.

Solution: Own this emotion 🎯. If you’re not a naturally organised sort, the concept of constraints, rules and regulations can feel like something to kick back against 🤸‍♂️. Or maybe you just need to find the motivation 🔑. I could give you a hundred benefits to being organised ✨. Seriously – just take a look on my website 🌐 if you need some inspiration. Once you are ready to bring organisation into your life, the benefits will make themselves known instantly 🌟.

Strategy

Problem: You don’t know how to get organised 🌀.

Solution: The key to being organised is finding the right strategy that works for you 🗺️. A tactic that fits your lifestyle, business and personality 👤. It might take a little honing and experimenting 🔧 to find the right style for you, but I’m always happy to help along the way 🤝.
