GET OPTIMIZED!
1. Start looking for a VA - either through a VA service, or put up an ad on Craigslist.
2. Put a riddle in the job posting that applicants must answer - if they don't answer it, dump their application.
3. Get your VA to manage your email so your email doesn't manage you. Use folders to know exactly what is the highest priority when you access your email.
