The difficult bit is starting.

Some tasks feel like they sit on your to-do list for days.

Sometimes weeks.

Not because they're difficult or you don't know how to complete them.

Not even because they take hours.

Something else always seems to crop up.

An email comes in.

A client needs an urgent job completed.

An invoice needs sending.

Life just seems to happen.

So they never quite make it to the top of the list.

Eventually you get round to completing the task and it's a relief to finally have it done.

It's getting from:

"I need to do that."

to

"I'm doing it."

This is one of the reasons body doubling can be helpful. Sometimes having someone there while you work is enough to help you get started and keep going.

If you've got a task you've been meaning to get round to, drop me a message and let's have a chat.

"Charly was very helpful and conscientious in helping to make aesthetic improvements to my website – some niggly things I hadn’t had the time or confidence to do/put right myselfShe is very efficient and responsive and gave me regular updates and communication and it felt like she really cared about supporting my small business. I will be using her for other projects in the future, and I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and friendly, helpful disposition"

Thank you so much for the feedback. It was lovely working with you.

It's never just five minutes

You change one image.

Then update a paragraph.

and add a testimonial.

It was meant to be a quick job.

Or it was supposed to be anyway.

Then the image size was wrong.

The formatting kept moving.

Then WordPress wants an update.

Something else stops then stops working.

Before you know it, half of the afternoon has disappeared and you're wondering what happened to your quick job.

Website updates have a habit of doing that.

You probably did more than you think.

It's very easy to focus on what's been left on your list.

The unfinished jobs.

The emails still waiting for a reply.

The task you didn't quite get to.

But less easy to focus on everything you actually did get done.

The client you helped.

The problem you solved.

The questions you answered.

The work you completed.

The admin you managed to do.

Because somehow our brains are very good at noticing what we haven't done rather than what we have.

And if you're spending more time looking at your to-do list than actually crossing things off, I can help with that. Drop me a message and let's have a chat.

You don't have to do everything yourself.

Some jobs get done straight away.

Others somehow keep being moved from one to-do list to another.

The website update you've been meaning to make.

The inbox that needs sorting.

The newsletter you wanted to send.

The document that needs updating.

The form you need to complete.

None of them are difficult or complicated tasks, but they just seem to be taking longer to complete than expected.

And then they mysteriously appear on a brand new to-do list with all good intentions.

This is where I can help.

I can support you with the jobs that keep getting moved from one to-do list to the next, so you can focus on the parts of your business that need your attention.

If there's something you've been meaning to get round to for a while, send me a message.

Most people don't wake up one morning and decide they're never opening their inbox again.

It usually starts with a week that's been busier than usual.

A few unread emails.

A couple of things to deal with later.

A newsletter you meant to unsubscribe from.

Then another and then another.

Before you know it, opening your inbox feels a bit like opening the cupboard under the stairs. You know you need to sort it out, but you're convinced it will take up your whole day. So you close the door and hope to come back to it another time.

The good news is most inboxes look far worse than they actually are.

Once you start working through them, they're usually much easier to organise than you expected.

If you've read this and thought, "that's definitely me", send me a message.

It's Friday.

Some of you may be wondering who I am, so I thought I'd introduce myself again.

I'm Charly, owner of Charly Brennan Virtual Assistant, and I support neurodivergent business owners with the jobs that keep getting pushed further and further down the list.

The people juggling client work, emails, admin, websites, family life and approximately 47 other things at the same time.

The inbox that needs organising.

The website updates that never quite happen.

The admin that's built up.

The task that feels like it's been there forever.

If you're reading this and thinking, "That's me," send me a message.

You know the task.

The one that's been on your list for weeks.

Every morning you think:

"Right. Today's the day."

Then you get an email. A client needs something and they've marked it as urgent.
Then the phone rings. Something else takes priority.

So it gets moved to tomorrow.
Again.

At this point it's not even a task anymore.

It's become part of the furniture.

Staring at you every time you open your to-do list.

If you've got a task that's been sitting on your list for what seems like forever, drop me a message.
