Stop missing important dates by hiring a professional gap filler.
Running a business entails accomplishing a multitude of tasks. You can categorize these tasks into two: core functions and non-core functions.
Core functions refer to all activities that are directly related or relevant to the main enterprise of the business.
Non-core functions are activities that are not directly related to the main enterprise of the business. However, they are likewise important to keep the business stable and running smoothly. Non- core functions for a business typically include:
- Administrative Tasks – email filtering, phone handling and appointment setting.
- Back Office Support – bills payment, human resources, and accounting.
- Technical Tasks – social media, customer service, research, and marketing and promotion.
Managing non-core functions will take away valuable time from attending to the tasks that need your immediate attention. Email filtering alone will cost you one to two hours. Can you imagine working on an important project when your phone begins to ring off- the- hook?
How would you react when in the middle of an important Skype call, the transmission gets cut off?
As it turns out, you forgot to pay the Internet bill.
Although these tasks are categorized as “non-core” or “non- essential” they are otherwise important for your business. The problem is they consume time. As we mentioned, time is a valuable but limited commodity. You don’t have much of it, so use it wisely.
The best option for expert time management is to hire a Virtual Assistant who can organize your core and non- core tasks on your calendar.
Not only will this make it easier for the VA to keep track of your activities, but making changes to the schedule will be faster and more convenient.
