My Motivation

I desired a change of lifestyle and a better way of working. I was tired of commuting to work, day in and day out. It was taking a toll on my health as I was no longer enjoying the hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan city. Plus, I needed to work in an environment where there is peace and quiet. I needed my space to be were there was minimal distractions and interruptions for this is where my best work is achieved.

My personal lifestyle was also being affected and in order for me to live from a place of love and beauty, it became necessary to change how I worked and the work itself.

To choose my own hours and to choose what I desired to do was liberating. It was so important for me to learn new skills as often as possible so that i could remain motivated. Becoming a Virtual Assistant gave me everything I desired and more.

My Routine

I’m an early riser. I rise at about 5.30 am most mornings. Before I do any form of work for anyone, I give myself all the loving energy I need to be able to face the day as my BEST SELF.

By about 7.30 am, I’m ready for the world. At the end of the previous days work, I always itemise what is to be done in the morning. I check my emails, calendars and scheduler systems to enable me to prioritize my work.

During my breaks, I completely come away from my computer. I stretch, mediate & do my breathing exercises. Sometimes I may go for a small walk. I always try to eat a nutritious light meal and drink lots of water, throughout the day.

At the end of my working day, I update my calendar, schedulers & priority actions plans for the following day. Before the end of Fridays work, I will look at the week ahead and prioritize my work.
