Tracy Hirst, wife, mom and career-woman, doesn't sweat the small stuff. That's because someone else does that for her. Instead of trying to fit chores, home administration and other day-to-day tasks into her busy day, she simply picks up the phone and calls her lifestyle manager.

She no longer has to worry about getting to the shops before they close, standing in queues at Home Affairs, or making sure that her car goes in for a service, she needs only to make a phone call to her personal assistant, or lifestyle manager, and she can consider it all done. Through My Life Organised, an agency that outsources personal assistants to busy South Africans, Tracy got her life back.

"It's a huge relief for me. My husband and I both have fulltime jobs, we have a young daughter at home and we simply don't have time to get to those everyday tasks and errands that need to get done, from handyman stuff to gift buying and holiday planning. Before I started using My Life Organised, I often felt that I was losing out on quality time with my husband and daughter." says Tracy, "But now, we have that time back."

Caro Fisher, founder of My Life Organised, offers a lifestyle management service that allows those of us who are struggling to keep up with the demands of everyday life a break, from busy mums and young bachelors to high flying executives. Its affordable fees and range of packages mean that South Africans can take advantage of having a lifestyle manager to organise whatever needs doing for a reasonable fee.

"The service is about offering the individual a second pair of hands and a chance to breathe. My Life Organised is a lifestyle management company that aids individuals in the simple act of living," comments Fisher. The service outsources a personal assistant to clients and charges on an hourly basis. "We have a variety of packages to choose from which were drawn up with particular lifestyles in mind. Otherwise, clients can simply use us on an ad-hoc basis for simple errands," adds Fisher.

Fisher meets with each client personally to decide how best she can simplify their life. By customising the service to suit their needs she ensures that they get the best value for money and perhaps more importantly, get their lives back.

As business and life speeds up for all of us, it is getting more difficult to multi-task and stay on top.

"You can forget about those long personal admin to-do lists and just hand them over to Caro", testifies Hirst, "you will never feel more organised!"
