How I use Time Doctor as a health virtual assistant
Time Doctor is a great tool that is ideal for health coaches to use when working with a virtual assistant. It is more than just a time tracking tool:
A daily report of screenshots outlining what I’ve worked on
A list of websites visited and software used during work hours
Time spent using different applications
Time spent on breaks
Idle time
Time Doctor is the best time tracking and management solution tool out there because it assures you how much time is spent productively (as well as time spent procrastinating if you keep the time tracker running without working on any task.)
It helps remote workers, virtual assistants (like me), and online health coaches increase productivity and reduce distractions. It will also help you to monitor and analyze your team's performance. By using it, you can easily manage your employees.

7 Tips for time-blocking
Time blocking is the practice of planning out the working hours of your day in advance and allotting specific “blocks” to certain tasks and projects.
Here’s how I use time blocking to make the most of my time working as your health virtual assistant and how you can manage your time as a health coach too:
Tip #1 - Plan everything
First, you need to brainstorm all the tasks you may have to work on this week, and then work your way down from there.
Tip #2 - Start with high-level priorities
Once you’re done brainstorming, list a number of tasks that are low-priority – scrap these tasks for now, and aim to limit your working schedules to 3-5 priority tasks per day.
"Time is money." – Benjamin Franklin
Tip #3 - Create time-blocks for your day
Blocking time in your digital calendar may take time, but you’ll speed things up if you create time-blocking cards (I use Trello) – you can create cards with start and end times.
Tip #4 - Write down your daily to-do list
Create a checklist for your tasks for the day and stick to it.
Tip #5 - Estimate how long things will take
Remember the planning fallacy? Don’t be optimistic with your day until you have a solid understanding of what you can get done realistically.
Tip #6 - Schedule your breaks (not just lunch)
We’re not machines. Make sure to set aside time throughout the day to give your brain and your eyes a rest.
Tip #7 - Remain flexible
Sticking to a schedule makes sure you achieve everything on your agenda, but what if something unexpected pops ups?
To prevent surprises that ruin your schedule, make sure you block at least an hour per day for unexpected occurrences.
To make time-blocks on Timedoctor, add tasks and projects so that you’re aware of how much time is spent on content creation, social media management, etc.
2 Tips for time management (work from home edition)
Time management becomes challenging when you’re surrounded by distractions at home. Try these tips to stay productive when working from home:
Tip #1: Find your own space
You deserve to have a private space where you can make your own home office. Try to find a room that is quiet and free of distractions.
Tip #2: Manage your energy effectively
We all have different internal rhythms. Some of us are night owls while the others are early birds. When are you most focused and effective? If it’s early in the morning, schedule your major tasks to align with that timeframe.
