You ever open a spreadsheet, stare at it for three seconds, and immediately close the tab like it personally offended you?
Same.
There’s this special kind of dread that comes with admin tasks. They’re not hard. They’re not time-consuming. They just sit there. Mocking you. Like the dishes in the sink that never seem to be just one plate and fork…nope, it’s a full-on science experiment before you know it.
It starts with a file you meant to clean up. Or a caption you almost posted. Or a video you filmed two weeks ago that’s still chilling in your downloads folder like a ghost of productivity past. And even though you know it’d only take fifteen minutes to finish the dang thing…you don’t. Because your brain says nope.
The “Small Stuff” That Takes Up Big Space
Here’s the thing. My clients aren’t lazy. They’re busy. Most of them are juggling real-deal work, family, animals, community stuff, and about three side projects. They’re not sitting around scrolling Instagram all day wondering what to do with themselves.
So when something admin-y shows up (even something as small as formatting a doc or scheduling a couple of posts) it doesn’t feel small. It feels like opening a junk drawer and trying to find batteries. You could deal with it…or you could quietly shut the drawer and pretend it doesn’t exist.
The Cost of Not Clicking “Send”
When that stuff piles up, it doesn’t just waste time. It messes with your momentum. You stop sharing your updates. You delay launching the thing. You second-guess your follow-up email. Suddenly, you’re behind on something that didn’t even need to be hard in the first place.
And that guilt? It’s sneaky. It steals energy from the stuff you actually want to be doing. Like planting tomatoes. Or welding things. Or, you know, actually running your business.
Here’s Where I Come In
You don’t need a VA team. You don’t need a whole content strategy. You need someone who can look at that doc you’re dreading and just…finish it. Fix the weird spacing. Get the info where it needs to go. Clean it up and make it look like you had your life together the whole time.
That’s what I do.
Clients send me their stuck tasks…a spreadsheet, a caption, a raw video, whatever. I take it, clean it up, and hand it back done. Not half-done. Not “almost ready.” Done. So they can stop thinking about it and move on with their day.
You Don’t Need to Outsource Everything
Just hand off one thing. The thing you’ve been ignoring the longest.
Let it be easy. Let it be out of your brain and into mine. And if it helps? I’ll even rename your file something useful, like “ActuallyFinalForReal.docx.”
If you’re sitting on a to-do that makes you want to scream every time you see it…send it my way. We’ll knock it out. Then you can get back to building the part of your business you actually like.
