Imperial Personal Assistant Delivers the Gift of Time - -Your Time

A Note From Cheryl

On a recent Saturday I took time to meet a friend for coffee. As we sat and enjoyed each others company on a beautiful day, I couldnt help notice the people rushing in and running back out. Everyone had an errand list they had to get done before the weekend ran out! We can all relate to that! I know I find it very frustrating at the end of the weekend, to realize my two days of freedom are gone and Ive barely slowed down, done anything for myself, or smelled the roses. Never mind rest!

Welcome to the March 2006 issue of this bi-monthly newsletter.  Thank you for allowing me into your mailbox.     Please forward to anyone you feel may find it interesting.

In a recent UK survey sponsored by British Airways, the findings revealed, that given the opportunity of an extra hour, 64% of the respondents would choose to spend the extra time with their partner, family, friends or on themselves, reading a book or relaxing in a bath.  The introduction of services such as online banking, internet shopping and online check-in have revolutionized the Internet, transforming it from a pure information resource into a precious time-saving tool Robin Hayes, executive vice-president the Americas, British Airways.

These days You arent just multitasking youre multi-minding, constantly thinking about and preparing for, the myriad dimensions in your complex life.                                 Condensed from a news release - (Fast Company Jan 2006)

Just think  ......  with a helping hand    you and your family would have time for what really matters, enjoying your home and the lifestyle youve work so hard for!

Sometimes during the week of working, it seems my house is just a place to sleep! Home is supposed to be where you live, not just park your car. 

Can you imagine opening the door on a life where someone lent you a helping hand? A life where your grocery supplier actually knew you by name and went out of their way to make sure you never ran out of the everyday products necessary to run your home ... and you didn't have to lift a finger. 

Hard to imagine?? 

Thats what Imperial Personal Assistant does! Lends a helping hand to busy people just like you. Well make sure your supplies for home, office or cottage are ordered and arrive at your door on time.

Why waste your precious free time going to the store and buying the same products over and over? Youll cruise the aisles, pick up more than you planned, wait in line, lug your bags to the car, drive home, unpack and realize half your day is gone.  Your freedom day!

Been there, got the Tshirt!   Switched to a better program!

Instead, why not put your feet up, enjoy a coffee during your complimentary consultation and well take care of everything for you. Order one product or ten, your choice.  Same products, better service!

Celebration!! Its our website's 1st yr anniversary.

Are you frustrated with the volume of traffic that you face everyday on the road getting to work! Recently I heard that the 401 Highway across the top to Toronto is the busiest in Canada with over 4,000 cars an hour! If you have to face that everyday you definitely do not need to add extra time by stopping on the way home to pick up pasta, pet food, toilet paper and other essentials? 

That's when the question that Alan Lakein memorialized "What's the most important use of my time right now?" comes to mind! Because the truth is Id rather just go home and not have to wait in line and play parking lot search. Especially if you have a family, youll be going home to the second shift of homework, little league and piano lessons boy, talk about multi-minding!

Unleash yourself from the store.  How often do you shop? What if I could save you at least 45 min on each trip and you only had to pick up a few things rather than the whole 9 yards?  Think about it, times you shop, by 45 mins each trip. How many extra hours would that add to your weekly schedule?  Just think, with a helping hand youll have time to put 1^st things first.

Remember - it's the small-but-effective actions that make the biggest impact!

Have you got a pedometer? If you're logging less than 5,000 steps daily, you need to step up your efforts. Your daily activities probably account for between 2 to 5,000 steps. Walking 5,000 or fewer steps during the day, approx 2 miles, is deemed sedentary. Lunch time walking will help you step up your activity and put you in the "active" category, which requires 10,000 daily steps.

Commit to this one simple activity, say 3 times a week, stick to it, someone is watching!

Lose those extra pounds FAST, with Weight Maintenance Products.                  Variety packs of mini meal replacement bars are great for that mid-morning snack and a perfect addition to your low carb eating program.                                                Mini meal replacement bars, 25 ass't 32 g bars, chocolate and fruit flavours  $52.50, Protein bars, 16 ass't 22 g bars, fudge or fruit $46.65                                             or as a chocolate or vanilla drink 6 x 330ml $27.30                                                 Energy drinks, for that afternoon lull, or long drive, 12pk, $27.60. Amazing - 5 varieties and available as carbonated and non-carbonated. All pricing in CDN.

Why not have your order delivered to the office! Just contact us, we'll deliver and your healthy alternatives can be on hand when that afternoon Chocolate Tree calls ... because you know, you really shouldn't!

Join the rewards program and every time your product purchases total $500.00 in a calendar year (may be a single order or multiple orders) we'll reward you with a FREE $50 Product Gift Certificate you can use to purchase product!!

This year could be the worst year for reaching your goals or the best.  Youll never know if you dont set a plan with concrete goal that you revisit daily/weekly. Put up your goal/dream board and track your progress, record your efforts and celebrate the steps to your victory!

Don't make the mistake of just working on a distant goal, it's too distant. Do the next right thing and celebrate every step, because life happens everyday. 

    Time Saving Tip and Tricks

3 things you will not have to worry about

• Winter weary skin? Is your skin flaking and dry?  Try an new Exfoliating Scrub or Alpha Hydroxy!
• Remember to hydrate your cells, try to drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
• Get enough sleep because getting to bed 1 or 2 hours late every night during the week can add up to a whole night lost by the time the weekend comes around!

2 bright ideas

• Ask about our skin care systems for Men, Women and Teenage Troubled Skin.  You'll be amazed at what a difference one product can make to your skin.
• Find out what reduces stress for you.  Maybe it is going out to dinner with your family to a great little family run restaurant I found called Celadon House located at 575 River Glen Blvd in North Oakville. Just get away and take a moment for reflection and good food! The unique relaxed atmosphere shares the owners culture and heritage through the best of Asian home cooking with wholesome traditional and fusion dishes. Contact them 905-257-5725.
• By the way, when did you last reflect on things?  You'll work more effectively with a settled mind and a great attitude.   As per Stephen Covey "Sharpen the saw."

Find Your Place in Word Documents!

If you are working on a long document, it's easy to lose your place.

With Microsoft Word documents, you can pick up where you left off in your last editing session because Word keeps track of the last three locations where you typed or edited text. Just press SHIFT+F5 immediately after opening the document, and the cursor will appear at the exact point where you last made a change. To reach the previous two editing locations, press SHIFT+F5 until you reach the location you want.
