It can be hard to decide what to delegate, though. A good rule of thumb is if it is a task that only you can do, don't delegate it. If it is a task pretty much anybody can do (especially with instructions or a little help from you), you can definitely ask us to take it over.

Even with that in mind, it can still be hard to give over control of parts of your life to a virtual assistant.

Here are ten ideas for high-impact tasks you could delegate to a virtual assistant right now. If you don't have a virtual assistant, sign up to our mailing list to grab yourself a free hour of virtual support.
