Help With That Help With That provides flexible Virtual Assistant services for UK small business owners and busy professionals. Reclaim your time as I handle the details.

From adhoc tasks to tailored support. Get organised and focus on what truly matters to you. Welcome to Help With That, founded by Clair Davis, your dedicated Virtual Assistant based in Altrincham, South Manchester. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to person for organising, problem-solving, and making things happen. My strength lies in breaking complex tasks into manageable steps, en

suring nothing ever slips through the cracks. By efficiently handling the details behind the scenes, I free up your time so you can truly concentrate – whether that’s on growing your business, advancing your career, or simply achieving a better work-life balance. I know from experience that juggling a business or a demanding professional life means there’s always something competing for your attention. When the admin piles up, it inevitably pulls your focus away from what truly matters. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless tasks, imagine having the right support in place to keep everything running seamlessly. With efficient systems and structured support, staying organised becomes effortless. Emails are managed, schedules flow seamlessly, and operations are streamlined. This gives you back the time and headspace to focus on what really matters to you, so no more dropping the ball or feeling overwhelmed. Instead, you gain a structured and efficient way of working that fits around you. Support from Help With That goes beyond ticking tasks off a to-do list. It’s about providing a strategic partnership that ensures the right approach makes all the difference, no matter the administrative challenge. Whether it’s managing your executive workload, streamlining business operations, or organising complex data – the impact is clear. Let’s create a smarter, more efficient way of working together. Get in touch to discover how Help With That can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Imagine This...
It’s Monday morning. You’ve got:
☕ A coffee in hand, not a panic attack.
🗓️ A clear schedule, not a chaotic one.
📬 An inbox that’s actually under control.

This isn’t a fantasy! Your calendar can feel this calm. Here's a super handy tip to get started:

The "Holds" Rule: Stop letting other people’s tasks fill your day. Block out time for your own work first, your lunch, your deep focus hours, and your admin time. Think of it like a bouncer for your diary, only letting in what truly helps you. 👑

This is just one small step to take control. Imagine having all your scheduling, planning, and those "ugh, I hate doing this" tasks taken completely off your plate by someone who loves them (yes, people like me exist!).

✨ Your time is now yours to focus on big-picture goals, not busywork. ✨

🚨 Midweek Reminder Alert! 🚨

Hey, you! Yes, YOU with the overflowing diary and that "I’ll figure it out later" energy. 😅 It’s time to pause, grab a cuppa ☕, and spend just 10 minutes reviewing your diary for the rest of the week.

Why bother? Because it works:

No more dreaded "What am I supposed to be doing right now?!" panic. 🤯

Forget the double booked meetings. 😬

Tatty bye forgotten deadlines. 😱

Set a timer, do a quick shuffle, and make room for the things that truly matter. 💆‍♀️

So, are you a diary-reviewing pro or a last-minute magician? Drop your midweek planning style in the comments, let’s share some tips! 👇✨

Declutter Your Calendar for a Tidy Mind
How to Declutter Your Calendar Like a Pro 🗓️✨

Is your calendar looking more chaotic than a toddler in a toy shop? 😵‍💫 Fear not—help is here! Let’s tackle the mess and reclaim your sanity with these simple tricks:

1. The "Big Nope" Rule
That recurring meeting you can’t remember the purpose of? The coffee chat that’s been rescheduled 3 times? It’s time to say NO. Cancel, decline, or simply archive anything that's a proven time-waster. It’s not rude; it’s an act of self-preservation. 👋

2. Batch It Up
Stop the endless ping-pong of tasks! Group similar things into neat little bundles. Think:

All your emails in one block.

All your calls in another.

All your admin work in its own dedicated hour.
It’s like laundry, but instead of sorting socks, you’re sorting tasks for maximum efficiency. 🧺💻

3. Sacred Gaps
These aren't empty spaces; they're buffer times, and they're sacred. Build in 15-minute breaks between meetings or a solid hour of "thinking time" to breathe and prep. No more playing frantic Calendar Tetris! 🎮🕰️

4. The Non-Negotiables
Your priorities are now VIPs, and they get private access only. Block time for deep work, lunch, and your most important projects. This isn't just a suggestion; it's a booking. Protect it fiercely! 👑

Remember: A tidy calendar = a tidy mind. Let’s get decluttering! 💪✨

Don’t Ghost ‘Em!

So the project’s over... but don’t just drop kick them into an Abyss.

A smooth offboarding process means they’ll actually want to work with you again. Or at least leave a glowing review.

Here’s your checklist:

Offboarding email (aka "The Great Farewell")

Final invoice (because, you know, money is pretty important for life)

Feedback request (for your ego’s sake)

Take away their access to your magical tools (Google Drive, etc.)

Offer next steps?

End things on a high note, and you might just get a referral (or two) 😊

Email Response System SOP

The Inbox: Where Emails Go to Die
The inbox can be the Bermuda Triangle of productivity. Emails disappear, never to be seen again.

But with an Email SOP, you can finally stop the overwhelm of unread messages.
Here’s how:

Use templates for those super fun replies (like "Thanks for your email!" and "I’ll get back to you next week!")

Set times to check your inbox (hint: not every 5 minutes)

Organise those bad boys like a boss (folders, stars, emojis—do what you gotta do)

Separate the urgent from the “meh” (because not everything is an emergency)

Less stress, more productivity. Your inbox is now under control. 💅

Client Onboarding: Don’t Let First Impressions Let You Down 😎

Let me help you make it a smooth one!

Here’s how:

Send a welcome email (no, not from your spam folder!)

Lay down the law (contracts & invoices)

Get some juicy info (questionnaires, forms, etc.)

Share files like a pro (Google Drive, Dropbox, all that good stuff)

Don’t forget the calendar link!

Do this right, and you will be on the right track. 😇

Getting SOPpy over SOPs?

Well, SOPs should be your best friend, especially if you are a business owner.

SOPs are Standard Operating Procedures, sounds like a proper laugh doesn't it?
But really, SOPs are the instruction manual for your business, just enough structure to keep everything from falling to pieces 😉.

And honestly, you don’t need fancy binders or 300 page guides. Just jot down your steps as you go! Keep it simple and get things done.

Have you got SOP's? 👇
