High performers are always in search of a way to squeeze extra productivity out of their day. They consume blogs, books, planners, gadgets, and hacks to produce the optimal workflow and maximize their efficiency.
Inevitably, they experience a point of diminishing returns — having an organized to-do list, a prioritization system, a calendar, and a smartphone account for the 20% of productivity practices that make 80% of the difference. After that, you are basically fine-tuning an already well oiled machine.
At this point, you’ve hit the productivity plateau – which is essentially when you’ve reached the limits of what one human being is capable of doing.
What then? How do you become more productive?
The answer is simple: you clone yourself! You have other people carry out your intentions. You delegate. By doing so, you are no longer limited to what one person can accomplish in one day.
Many small business owners are hesitant to make the commitment of hiring someone to help them – and for good reason. Having an employee is a huge financial commitment, and often creates additional work to be done.
A great alternative is working with a virtual assistant! Virtual assistants are typically willing to work flexibly — you don’t have to commit to a full time (or even part time) member of in-house staff. And, because they aren’t actually your employees, you don’t have to worry about taxes, insurance, etc.
You do, however, still benefit from the additional help the way you would with an employee.
So, for anyone looking for an easy, extremely effective way to get more done during the day, look into virtual assistance before dropping more money and time into small tweaks with limited benefit. A virtual assistant is the ultimate productivity boost!
