I am participating in the ’31 Days to Build a Better Blog Challenge’ run by Darren Rowse at Pro Blogger. The challenge for day 2 was to write a list to blog post. Recently I posted a blog title ‘Tasks your Virtual Assistant can complete in an hour’. My current focus is planning an event for a client, so I decided to create a variation of my previous list and provide a list of 20 event planning tasks your Virtual Assistant could do in one hour.
