I’ve been struggling to keep up with my daily tasks, and I’m seriously considering hiring a personal assistant. The problem is, I’m not sure whether a virtual assistant would be enough or if I should go for someone in person. I mostly need help with scheduling, emails, and small research tasks. Has anyone here used both types? Which one worked better for you, and what are the biggest advantages or drawbacks of each? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Interesting discussion! I think the choice between a virtual and in-person personal assistant depends on individual needs. Some people prefer the convenience of a virtual assistant, especially for remote work, while others need hands-on help. Both options have their pros and cons, but at the end of the day, it’s all about what fits best with your lifestyle and workflow. It’s great to hear different perspectives on this!
I had the same dilemma a few months ago, and after weighing my options, I decided to go with a personal assistant from an online service. It was one of the best decisions I made. Virtual assistants are perfect for handling administrative tasks like scheduling, emails, and research. They’re also more cost-effective because you don’t need to worry about office space or additional expenses.
That being said, if you need someone to physically handle errands, organize paperwork, or assist with in-person tasks, a local assistant might be a better choice. I personally found that a virtual assistant gave me more flexibility, and I could scale their hours up or down depending on my workload.
