“Organization isn’t about perfection; it’s about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money and improving your overall quality of life.†– Author Christina Scalise.

This week our own Matthew Casteel talks about what it’s like to work with a Virtual Assistant. We learn why “free” is not always free, why $2/hour is a fair and ethical wage overseas, and why he prefers to work with assistants located in the Philippines. We learned how Tim Ferriss’ Book “The Four Hour Workweek” inspired him to try outsourcing for himself. (This story by AJ Jacobs, editor-at-large at Esquire magazine is the particular story that ignited the idea.)
