Being a mom is a full-time job in itself. When you tack on a career and a million personal responsibilities, moms have sure got a lot on their plates. Why not help the mother figure in your life lighten that load a bit? When you’re brainstorming the perfect Mother’s Day gift for this year, think outside flowers or dinner! Consider treating mom to her very own personal assistant and give her the greatest gift of all: more free time.
Gift a Personal Assistant Package
A personal assistant package is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Mom can pick and choose the days she could use an extra pair of hands, select the amount of PA hours she needs, and allocate tasks accordingly. The result? She can come home to a completed to-do list and use that leftover time to unwind or treat herself to her favorite activities. Even better than breakfast in bed or a trip to the day spa? The spare time to indulge in such things without the prospect of unfinished business looming over relaxation time.
Her Personal Assistant Can Handle the Busy Work
Monotonous daily tasks — from paying bills and scheduling appointments to grocery shopping or picking up dry cleaning — can eat into mom’s personal time and even her lunch hour at work. Treating her to a personal assistant package allows her to prioritize herself and quality family time in place of time-consuming chores. A personal assistant can transform a dreaded week full of stressful obligations into one where the sky’s the limit.
When valuable time is on the line, a recurring subscription is a worthwhile investment. Plus, the rest of the family gets to see more of mom!
Show Mom You Care; Help Her Take Back Treasured Free Time
Many working moms rise and shine early to get a head start on each busy day. Sometimes, overtime at the office plus after-work errands can mean there aren’t enough hours in a day. With the help of a personal assistant on particularly busy days, mom can focus on her job, enjoy herself, and treasure time with her loved ones.
With a little luck, that extra time will liberate mom to do something special for herself — whether she prefers to get a pedicure, sign up for a yoga class, work on personal projects, meet up with friends, or simply take a solo breather on the couch. However she chooses to spend it, a Mother’s Day gift of free time provides a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of motherhood.
Happy Mother’s Day to all!

We all want to make the most of every day. By taking a few steps to optimize your personal efficiency, it is possible to achieve everything you aspire to do — from your career to your home life and beyond. Here are five ways to make your life more efficient.
Organization Makes Everything Easier
Whether you’re sifting through your closet for your running shoes or searching for an important file on your work computer, careful organization can save you a lot of time. Sure, conscious organization involves a slightly longer time commitment to ensure your things are stored back in their rightful homes after each use. However, in the grand scheme of things, organizing your physical and digital spaces will improve your efficiency when you know exactly where to look for your belongings in the first place.
Create and Stick to a Schedule
When you have a plan for how to efficiently tackle your to-do list, you’ll naturally start to get more done by the end of each day. From carefully scheduling your workday to improve your overall productivity to planning the timing and route of your personal errands, a bit of foresight can save you time and frustration.
Hire a Personal Assistant
Time is precious, but the busier you are, the less of that precious time there is to come by. Don’t waste yours on hold with your utilities companies for an hour or going out of your way to pick up dry cleaning. Hiring a personal assistant is the easiest way to remove menial yet time-consuming tasks from your to-do list. You can apply the same principle at work: delegate. Enlist an extra pair of helping hands to handle personal tasks so you can focus on the bigger picture.
Put an End to Procrastination
When you delay starting or finishing a project, all you do is create stress and uncertainty. One of the easiest ways to improve your efficiency is to avoid putting off projects and tasks until a later date or time. Even taking the first small steps of a large project can be critical to its overall success. Creating a list of short- and long-term goals can help you schedule and prioritize projects and tasks you intend to complete.
Take Time to Rest and Recharge
No one can be “on” all day, every day. In addition to time for adequate sleep each night, everyone needs a few moments each day and several hours a week to rest and engage in activities they enjoy. Whatever that looks like for you, whether it’s taking your dog for a run or binging a favorite television show, make sure to prioritize some time for yourself as you’re planning your week.
