Introduction

The holidays are a busy time and if you are a business owner, you may be feeling the stress of both personal and professional responsibilities. It can be difficult to keep up with everything on your plate. You may find yourself in what feels like an endless loop of checking emails, responding to inquiries, juggling family interactions, and attending meetings at work. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon scenario for many small business owners during this time of year.

Check out this list of tasks that a virtual assistant could complete for you as thought-starters:

• Helping plan your holiday events (contact guest list, ordering supplies, etc.)
• Researching gift ideas (and purchasing them for you)
• Researching activities for the kids to keep them busy

You should also keep in mind that this is a perfect opportunity to add value to your business by outsourcing year-end tasks such as:

• Follow up with customers and prospects (they can even send virtual holiday cards for you)
• Conduct research for upcoming projects (get a jump on 2023!)
• Invoice clients (get paid so you don’t have the financial stresses during this time)

Spend more time with your family.

Now that all of your tasks are covered go spend time with your family, friends, and even yourself. Spend time doing what you love to do.

Spend time doing nothing at all! Sometimes it can be difficult to find the time and energy to do the things we want in life but it is important for our health and happiness that we make sure that we allow ourselves some time just relaxing and doing nothing else but relaxing!
