In this day an age we all have about a million things that need to be done now and sometimes you can't keep track of what and who you are doing things for. Are you tired of having your computer covered with sticky notes and every scrap piece of paper you own has one note or another about an important meeting or event that you must attend?
With technology being the way that it is you can use one tool that I have found to be very helpful as a Real Estate Virtual Assistant.... I use an online calendar. There are several free ones out there to choose from. This is an easy, cost effective way to get organized. I use AirSet (www.airset.com) and I have found this to be a good tool to keep my clients and myself organized and on track. With this calendar I have the ability to set up an unlimited amount of calendars that I can share with certain people or keep private. So I have a calendar for my own personal commitments (i.e. doctors appts, school activities etc.), I also have one set up for my own VA practice (i.e. marketing ideas, blog posts, phone calls, training etc.) and then I also set up each of my clients with their own calendar.
Setting up my clients with their own calendar that only myself and the client and any other people that need to be part of it are able to view, has been very beneficial to my practice. You can color code the calendar as well as get a daily reminder sent via email or to a hand held device. There is an online blog for posting notes to each other within your group. Also you are able to share files via the group. It makes it like a hub for all important information that may be needed to work on a project with several different people, it will also help you to stay on track and on task.
So if you haven't already you should consider using one of these useful tools to get you organized and on your way to being more productive and have less stress.
