How do virtual assistants measure their work time? Virtual assistants usually measure their work time in a similar way to human assistants. This may include using time-tracking apps, such as Toggl, Harvest, Clockify, or RescueTime, which allow a virtual assistant to simply press a “start” and “stop” button to mark the time spent on a specific task. Some virtual assistants may also use workflow automation software, such as Zapier, IFTTT or Integromat, which allow you to create automated processes that are triggered based on certain conditions and actions, such as sending emails or creating notes in a project management application. Also, some virtual assistants work on projects with predefined deadlines, so they can use a calendar or project management app to track their progress and ensure they complete the project on time
