Suffering from writer's block sounds a bit grand, but if blogging turns your brain to mush, outsource it.

Many people have the gift of the gab for writing and can churn out 1000 words in 20 minutes!

If you're not one of those and sit with that dauntingly empty word document taunting you on the screen, here are some ways I find to help get me started.

✏️Write notes first, then join them up to form a blog
✏️Change your environment. Work in a different area of your home.
✏️Grab and pen and paper, regress to a teenage girl and lay on your bed.
✏️Use a voice record and speak it.
✏️Do some research into the subject; this will give you a starting point.
✏️Delegate it.

How often do you blog? I recommend to my clients that once a month is a sensible, achievable target.

There are only a week left of the school term, and

There are only a week left of the school term, and then we will all have the children home for the six-week summer holidays. With some pre-planning, effort, holiday clubs and irregular working hours, most of us can keep our businesses going. 🤯

Of course, though, there are days and weeks when you are going on holiday or just want to switch off completely – totally needed and warranted! As a business owner, I know that it can be difficult.

Our businesses are vital to us; we’ve worked so hard to grow them, but here’s something you need to hear – you are allowed a holiday. You deserve time to switch off and spend with family and friends. Your clients will respect you more for prioritising your wellbeing.
Can you unplug? 🔌

The big question is – how can you do it? Can you switch off your phone? 📱Or, more accurately, as you’ll still be needing the camera, turn it onto aeroplane mode so that it’s ‘off’ and the notifications stop?

I’m sharing the systems I use in the lead-up to a holiday so that I know everything is as organised as it can be before I go – allowing you to take a breath, and not feel that dread of tasks and emails piling up waiting for you..

Read the blog for my tips.

“As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.” so said Henry David Thoreau.

National day of simplicity is on his birthday. It's here to help us take a step back, deal with unnecassary stress and worry.

Every day I make other people's lives simpler! How cool is that? 😎

Virtual Assistants and Online Business Manager's do tasks in half the time of business owners as we do not have the emotional connection, the worry and procrastination that goes with it.

We have experience and skils to get stuff dones quickly and simply 🤩🥳✌️

Ever lost a piece of work, or forgot to save that

Ever lost a piece of work, or forgot to save that new version?

Nothing can be more counter-productive, or frustrating, than losing all your work and having to begin from scratch 😤🥴

Most people learn this the hard way!

By performing a regular backup (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly even), you can eliminate this risk, and rest easy knowing all your data is safe. It can also be worthwhile storing this backup off-site; this advice could be the difference between keeping all your data or losing it.

After being burrrnnneeed 🔥💥 in the past – I now have a mix of cloud-based back-ups and my external hard-drive.

What storage, cloud, or backup systems do you use?oud - I'm a Windows gal 🙌)
☁️OneDrive
☁️Dropbox
☁️GDrive
And my trusty @seagate 1TB external harddrive.

What storage, cloud or backup systems do you use?
Have you ever lost work and screamed into a cushion?
Back it up, baby!
