It may seem like we’re a little obsessed with Summer these days—but that’s because we ARE! Can you blame us? Pool days, campfires, vacations, ice cream—it’s the perfect time to take a breather and to focus your time on yourself and on family. Unfortunately, life and its never ending task list aren’t going anywhere. That’s why we suggest offloading as much as possible to a Personal Assistant. Enjoy your time outside, away, or wherever and let a PA handle life for you while you make memories.
Here are 8 tasks you can offload this Summer:
- Search for and vet vendors. Maybe you’re in need of a garden specialist, or you’re wanting refresh your walls but need a painting company—have your assistant do the vetting so that all you have to do is make an easy decision and enjoy the final product.
- Get your outdoor space ready for the season. Are your cushions in storage? Does the back porch need some TLC and someone to tidy things up? These are all great tasks for your PA to take on while you’re at work or on vacation!
- Take donations to a drop off. Have you cleared out your closets and home, but can’t seem to get that donations pile out of your garage? Have your assistant take it to a donation center and you’ll never have to see it again. And while they’re getting rid of messes in there you can have them:
- Reorganize your garage. Sometimes we make it through the whole year without taking a good look of the things we’ve piled up in the garage during the months before. There’s a good chance that Christmas is still sitting out and really needs to be put back in its storage space. Have your assistant plan and execute getting things organized—and while they’re swapping out seasons, they can pull out all of the Summer gear!
- Return any summer purchases that didn’t work out. If you ordered some summer clothes or bathing suits that didn’t work out, they can handle the returns so you can focus on finding your perfect fit.
- Research and book travel plans. Traveling is stressful enough—hand off the research and planning to your assistant and enjoy your vacation with the peace of mind that everything has been handled.
- Research and enroll your kids in Summer Activities. If you’re looking for ways to get your kids involved in camps and activities outside of the house, have your assistant research based on you and your family’s preferences. Similar to how they would vet vendors, they can narrow down the options, present them to you, and even go through the enrollment process so that all you have to do is drop them off and pick them up!
- Look after your house (or pets) while you’re on vacation. If you’re leaving your house, or pets, for a vacation and don’t have someone to look after them, ask your personal assistant! They can keep an eye on your home while you’re gone by bringing in your mail and packages, watering your plants, taking out/bringing in your trash cans. They can even check in on your pets to be sure they’re walked, fed, and loved.
So whether you need help planning your vacation, finding new vendors, or sprucing up your space, your assistant is here to make life easier so that you can spend time on what matters this Summer.
