Here’s a method to take your planning out of the dream stage and into reality. Calculate just how much benefit you will really receive by keeping a log for a week.

For seven days, every time you think about something you need to do but …

  1. don’t want to,
  2. don’t know how,
  3. or don’t have the time,

write it in the log. At the end of the week, take a look and see how many of those tasks you would have eventually completed yourself. How many caused you to miss opportunities or waste valuable time?

Keeping track of your needs for a week will show you truthfully whether or not to look for a personal assistant.
