Summer is here, and we can feel it! Whether it is because of the weather or because we feel it in our hearts, summer is not something that can go unnoticed. Just like every season, summer has a lot to offer! Once we start working, we have a specific amount of days to rest, and the excitement we had when we were younger or still studying subsides. However, when choosing to work as a virtual assistant, it doesn’t have to be like that. Intrigued? Continue reading to learn “3 Ways You Can Enjoy Summer Being a VA.”
Use your time wisely.
When working remotely, you have more time for yourself since you don’t have to commute. However, the challenge lies in managing that time efficiently. Try to focus on finding time for yourself and your loved ones. Summer is the perfect season to try new things. You could explore new places, learn new talents, or do something you’ve always wanted to do. Furthermore, the best part of it is that you don’t have to do it alone.
During summer, you could use some of your days off to enjoy yourself. On the other hand, if you’d like to save those days, simple activities such as sleeping more, getting a spa treatment, or simply lying down to watch a movie can do the trick. The point is that with all the extra time you get by working from home, you can create beautiful moments with your loved ones and avoid missing out on the opportunities this season has to offer.
Choose a change of scenery.
Being a virtual assistant means that you can travel and continue working even if it isn’t from home. One advantage of remote work is that you can work from anywhere as long as you have a reliable Wi-Fi connection. Luckily, most accommodations possess Wi-Fi nowadays, and sometimes they even offer a work-from-hotel option when you travel.
Use a small amount of your savings and treat yourself to some vacations and trips. This way, during your breaks, instead of eating lunch or taking a power nap, you can go sightseeing or swim in the pool (or even the sea!). Use your time wisely and look for a nice place you’d like to visit. You could travel abroad or go to a nearby town, city, or state (you could hang out with friends or family that live in another place, for example). Let yourself be amazed by different sights while working from anywhere!
Treat yourself.
2021 is the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV)! Additionally, summer has several in-season fruits and vegetables. Therefore, you can use summer to change your regular meals to fresher and better-tasting ones. Some things you should keep in mind to improve your meals are:
- Clean your fruit thoroughly.
- Check out the in-season fruits and vegetables of your region (this helps local farmers).
- Variety is always good!
Finally, thanks to the warm weather, you can prepare smoothies, shaved ice, frappés, ice pops, and ice cream! We might share some recipes on our Pinterest and TikTok accounts, so be prepared!
Enjoy all the perks of working remotely by choosing to become a virtual assistant, just like the ones we just mentioned in these “3 Ways You Can Enjoy Summer Being a VA”.

Happy summer, and remember, stay hydrated and eat lots of fruits and vegetables!
