8 Unexpected Ways Hiring a Personal Assistant Can Improve Your Quality of Life
Of course, one of the biggest benefits of having a personal assistant is saving time but the perks go beyond that. In fact, as a boutique personal assistant staffing agency, we talk to clients daily who are surprised by some of the ways their lives have changed since bringing on the right support.
In this post, we’ll be sharing eight of these unexpected benefits.
Improved Health
A personal assistant can help you stay on top of your health. They can schedule your doctors’ appointments and preventive screenings while ensuring visits don’t cause a conflict in your calendar. They can also help with meal planning and prep, refilling and picking up prescriptions or even securing your spot in your favorite spin class.
Less Dread
We all have tasks we dread doing, whether it’s grocery shopping, making certain phone calls or spending time on hold with your credit card company. It’s liberating to delegate all of the things you don’t want to do to a trusted assistant. This will free you up to focus on doing more of what matters to you.
Organized Finances
At Lambent, we maintain a pool of top-tier talent. Whether you choose to hire a part-time personal assistant or bring someone on full-time, you can be certain they’ll be fully qualified to step in wherever you need them. This could include supporting with bookkeeping, paying your bills and organizing tax documents.
A Discerning Eye
When thinking of personal assistant tasks, managing your wardrobe and helping you view and buy art for your collection might not be the first things that come to mind. That said, both can be valuable. We have a subset of personal assistants who are stylists, artists and curators.
If you need wardrobe guidance, you can have an assistant help you organize your clothes, put together outfits and shop for the right items to round out your closet. If art is more your style, an assistant can tailor gallery and studio visits, recommend the best museum exhibits and arrange art shopping itineraries and more.
A Reliable Stand-In
Another benefit of having a personal assistant is that it gives you the ability to be in two places at once. Your assistant can act as your stand-in when you’re not able to be physically present. For example, they can be at your home to let the electrician in or supervise vendors setting up for a party while you’re busy at the office.
An Instant Increase in Bandwidth
Need extra help while navigating a work or life event? Have a trip to plan and pack for? Is something unexpected taking up more time than you thought it would? In instances like these, you’ll be thrilled that you decided to hire a personal assistant.
Having a detail-oriented, organized professional to delegate things to gives you an instant increase in bandwidth. Instead of stressing about that vacation or event, you’ll have the time and space to actually enjoy it.Faster, More Informed Decision-Making
There’s no need to spend hours browsing the Internet, getting recommendations or reading reviews. Whether it’s finding a nanny or determining if that new opportunity is worth pursuing, your personal assistant can do the research for you. They’ll give a summary of their findings and any necessary resources (e.g., website links) for you to make an informed decision much more quickly.
Happy Loved Ones
Never forget a birthday, anniversary or holiday again. Your personal assistant will keep track of important dates. They can also shop for, wrap and send gifts, mail cards or remind you to call a friend or family member.
