Angie Assists

On Thursday, May 16 I was invited to facilitate a retreat for the Administrative Support Services Staff at the ADAMH Board of Franklin County. I spoke to a group of 10 fellow Administrative Professionals on Cultivating Resilience in the Workplace.

Angela, the Facilitator?!?! YES!!! That's me. I was nervous, but how can you be nervous when you are speaking your truth and sharing your experiences with others to help them as well. I am proud of myself. I created a safe space for conversation, moments of sharing, and even tears. My heart is still full.

Here are a few photos from the event 🥰

When asked, "was there anything else you would like to share about your experience?" Here are a few comments...

"It was a great positive informative experience. Love the teamwork and discussion."

"Today was GREAT"

"I will always remember your training"

🤔 🧠 A mindful approach to time management can transform chaos to clarity.

By offloading non-core tasks to a skilled assistant, entrepreneurs reclaim precious time to focus on high-impact activities essential for business growth. It's not just about managing time; it's about optimizing it, and a virtual assistant is the secret weapon in this pursuit.

Noticing the little moments that make a difference in life.

Amidst the hustle of entrepreneurship, I make sure that I cherish the small moments that are meaningful to me. Balancing business and personal life is an art—find joy in sunrise inspiration, laughter with loved ones, and the simple pleasures that make us feel grounded. Success is not just about achievements but also about finding harmony in every aspect of our journey.

When was the last time you stood up? I have to ask myself that question daily, it's so easy to find ourselves glued to our desks for hours on end. Remember to take regular breaks to get up and at 'em at least every hour ⏳

What is time blocking?

Time blocking is a planning method that divides your day into smaller blocks of time. During each block of time, you focus on a single task or a group of similar tasks. Now, how to time block:

➡️ Decide what you care about most
The answer to this question will inform what appears on your time blocking calendar. As well as the relative weight you give those scheduled items.

➡️ Create a to-do list
Be sure to include both personal and work tasks. Schedule mandatory tasks first. Any high-priority task should be at the top of your to-do list.

➡️ Practice task batching
Task batching is when you do a bunch of similar tasks at once. With task batching, you can break your larger task down and do each smaller task separately.

➡️ Try day theming
Day theming is a more advanced form of time blocking. Not only do you batch smaller tasks together, but you create a specific theme for your entire day as well. This allows you to focus on larger areas of your business.

➡️ Use timeboxing
Timeboxing is simply blocking out a specific unit of time within your calendar to do a future task.

I LOVE music!!! Research shows that listening to classical music or ambient tunes can amplify your concentration levels 🧠 ✨

The next time you need to tackle that to-do list, consider turning on some soothing melodies to fuel your workflow.

When I want to focus, I love to listen to Jazz! What songs do you have on your workday playlist?

Are you busy and looking to increase your productivity to maximize your days? Here are some tips:

✅ Figure out how you’re currently spending your time. If you’re going to optimize your time management, you first need to figure out where the time is going.

✅ Create a daily schedule. Before you leave work for the day, create a list of the most pressing tasks for the next day. This step allows you to get going as soon as you get to the office.

✅ Prioritize wisely. As you organize your to-do list, prioritization is key for successful time management at work. Start by eliminating tasks that you shouldn’t be performing in the first place. Then identify the three or four most important tasks and do those first, that way you make sure you finish the essentials.

✅ Group similar tasks together. Save yourself time and mental energy by trying to complete all of one type of to-do before moving on to the next.

While you focus on your critical business tasks, rely on Angie Assists to manage everything else seamlessly. Send us a DM to get started.

Thank you for taking this journey with us as we clear the clutter and get ready for spring!! We have reached the end of our journey of the series. As we wrap up our spring cleaning journey, let's add a final touch to our refreshed workspaces. 🪴

Tip # 5️⃣ : 𝗦𝗽𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘆
Now that you've decluttered, organized, and cleaned your workspace, it's time to add a touch of nature to truly bring it to life. Consider incorporating plants and greenery into your office decor to create a more vibrant and inviting atmosphere.

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀
Indoor plants do more than just beautify your workspace – they also offer numerous benefits for your health and well-being. Plants can help improve air quality by filtering out pollutants and increasing oxygen levels, creating a healthier and more productive environment. Additionally, studies have shown that being surrounded by greenery can reduce stress, boost mood, and enhance creativity.

𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀
When selecting plants for your workspace, opt for low-maintenance varieties that thrive indoors with minimal care. Some popular options include pothos, snake plants, succulents, and peace lilies. These plants are not only easy to care for but also resilient enough to withstand the conditions of most office environments.

𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂
By adding plants to your workspace, you're not only bringing a little piece of nature indoors but also creating a more inspiring and rejuvenating environment. So why not liven up your workspace with some greenery today?

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲
We'd love to see how you incorporate plants into your workspace! Share photos of your green oasis in the comments below and inspire others to bring a touch of nature into their work lives too. Let's create a community of green-thumbed workspace enthusiasts! I have included pictures of the plants in my office currently. I'd share all of the plants in my home, except it's watering day 😊

We are on the home stretch of our series. Today we are going to clean up after we have decluttered and organized 🤗

Tip # 4️⃣ : 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗨𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲
Now that you've begun decluttering and organizing, it's time to give your workspace a thorough cleaning. Start by wiping down surfaces, keyboards, monitors, and any other frequently touched areas. Use a gentle cleanser or disinfectant wipes to remove dust, dirt, and germs that may have accumulated over time.

𝗔 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆
Research has shown that a clean and organized workspace can have a significant impact on your mood, focus, and creativity. By maintaining a tidy environment, you create a space that promotes positive energy and encourages innovative thinking. So roll up your sleeves and let's get cleaning!

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆
As you wipe away the dust and grime, envision the workspace of your dreams – a place where you feel inspired, motivated, and ready to conquer any challenge. Whether it's rearranging furniture, adding personal touches, or incorporating soothing colors, make sure your workspace reflects your unique style and personality.

𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆
Now that you have cleaned and dusted, consider adding a touch of ambiance to your workspace with candles or aromatherapy. Choose candles with calming scents like lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus to create a soothing atmosphere that promotes focus and relaxation.

Not only do candles and aromatherapy add a pleasant fragrance to your workspace, but they can also help reduce stress and anxiety, making it easier to stay focused and productive throughout the day. So go ahead, light a candle or turn on your diffuser, and let the calming scents inspire you as you work.

In the comments I'd love to hear your favorite scents that help you relax and focus.

We have made it to the half-way mark our our series. How's it going? We hope you are feeling productive and accomplished.

Tip # 3️⃣ : Sort Through Papers and Files
One of the biggest contributors to workspace clutter is piles of paper and disorganized files. Take the time to go through each document, separating what's essential from what's outdated or unnecessary. Consider digitizing important papers to reduce physical clutter and increase accessibility. Invest in file folders or storage bins to keep everything neatly organized.

𝗦𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
Once you've sorted through your papers, don't forget to shred any outdated documents containing sensitive information. This not only frees up physical space but also protects your privacy and security. Invest in a reliable shredder or explore local shredding services for larger quantities. PRO TIP: Did you know that most Staples stores offer secure shredding and recycling?? 😮 That's right! Head to your local Staples store and utilize their free service in the Document Printing area 😉

𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
After decluttering, organize your remaining documents into labeled folders or binders for easy access. Consider categorizing them by project, client, or topic to streamline your workflow. A well-organized filing system not only saves time but also reduces stress and frustration when searching for important documents. Color coding is one of my favorite ways to organize files.

𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲!
By decluttering and organizing your papers and files, you're setting the stage for a more efficient and productive workspace. Stay tuned for more tips on transforming your workspace into a clutter-free haven of creativity and inspiration!

On January 27, 2023 there was a conference hosted by Dawn Tyler Lee. Live2Lead 2023 was the inaugural conference hosted by Forrest Street Consulting. My timeline was FLOODED with photos from said event. Everyone I knew was in that room!!!! I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t know about it. I have admired this woman, her poise and professionalism, for a very long time. She was my “mentor in my head.” At that moment, I made a promise to myself, next year I’m going to be in that room attendy this conference!

So let me tell you how funny God is!! Yesterday was Live2Lead 2024. Not only was I IN THE ROOM, but the woman that I have admired from afar is also my client and I am her Executive Assistant. How’s that for a full circle moment!?!?

I say all this to say…all you have to do is give it to God. He heard that small promise I made to myself and over the course of the last twelve months He has ordered my steps. I have created my own business, Angie Assists, left the confines of corporate life, and I have three AMAZING clients that I support which allows me to be FULLY BOOKED.

God is amazing. My heart is full and God is always giving confirmation on why I’m one of His favorites !!
