How did it get so late so soon?.My goodness how
the time has flewn! says Dr. Seuss, writer par
excellence of childrens books,. Where does the
time go? Our lives have become so busy that we
often wish that we could slow down the speed of
our planets rotation and lengthen days. When
careers, family and me time need to be
balanced, dont hesitate to explore options that
will help you optimise your time. Take the
helping hand of someone who can relieve you of
all the small necessary jobs that you dont need
to do yourself. Concierge and errand services can
give you that much needed breathing space so that
you can concentrate on your priorities. What
exactly is a concierge? Lets make it clear- the
concierge is not the supervisor of an apartment
block. Neither are we talking about a security
guard. Concierge services in busy cities like
Dubai give you a much needed helping hand by
tackling all those little pieces that will put
your life together. In this sense, a concierge is
more like a personal assistant.

How wise I am to have instructed the butler to
instruct the first footman to instruct the second
footman to instruct the doorman to order my
carriage Thank you Mr. Ogden Nash for pointing
out that the shortest distance between two points
is the straight line. When you have multiple
tasks, it doesnt make sense to delegate just
SOME of them to multiple people. Keeping track of
a multitude of helpers is an additional job more
of a hindrance than help. A concierge who can
handle it all is SO welcome! Have to book tickets
for a trip? Let the concierge do it. Have to make
dinner reservations? Let the concierge do
it. Have to buy a gift for your mother-in-laws
birthday? Let the concierge do it. Have to plan
the pick-up for those important out-of-town
clients? Let the concierge do it.

A good concierge service will provide you with
that ONE person who can juggle all the many odd
job balls without letting a single one crash to
the floor. Visitor to Dubai? A concierge can iron
out any creases in your trip to this hotspot of
the world. Wouldnt it be just great, especially
if you were travelling alone, and felt a little
unsure about how to go about everything? A local
and knowledgeable friend, philosopher and guide
could bridge any cultural gaps, make suggestions
about where and what to shop for and activities
that you might find interesting, impart titbits
of knowledge about Emirati foodthe many things
that can make your trip unforgettable and very,
very comfortable.

Destination Dubai Wedding Yes! Concierge services
can help you if youve planned this glam-sham
wedding in one of the most sought after
destinations on Earth. Wedding jitters are
justifiable when there are so many events to
attend, clothes to be planned, stuff is being
delivered all the time, the grand ceremony needs
to be fine tuned, guests need to be looked
after..dont be overwhelmed. A bridal concierge
can stop you from becoming Bridezilla. Just relax
and look your best. A very personal
assistant Dubai is a hub of business activity.
The business friendly atmosphere is precisely
what has contributed to the growth of this desert
metropolis. Business definitely means busy all
the time. If your high flying career or hectic
social life leaves you no time to put some order
into things, let a personal concierge do it.
He/she can walk your pet, set your closet right,
babysit if needed, keep a caring eye out for the
seniors at home, feed the fish, water your
plants, be your personal shopper and fill in the
blanks at your home when you cannot spare the
time.

Running errands running you off your feet? If
its just a little help you need and only in
those times when things are a little
overwhelming, try an errand service to do the odd
job that you cannot find the time to do. An
errand service can help you with doing your
grocery shopping. Need your dry cleaning picked
up but the shop is not on your route? Let an
errand runner do it. The gofer in the office
hasnt turned up and those plans need to be
delivered pronto. Errand running services can do
the task. Bad times need good help Not all times
are good. If you arent feeling too well or are
just recovering from some surgery or
convalescing, concierge or errand running
services can be just what the doctor
ordered. Senior citizens are very often homebound
or running on depleted energy levels. A
compassionate concierge or errand runner will be
of the greatest help.

What to look out for Make sure that the service
provider is a concern of good repute. The service
should have a good verification system in place
and vet their employees perfectly. You should be
charged only for those services that you have
used. The service should be available if you have
a problem to deal with it with no loss of
time All differences should be handled amicably.
Dont forget that every services motto should be
the customer is king. There is so much to do
and achieve in Dubai. This is truly the land of
unlimited opportunity dont let humdrum errands
overshadow the quality of your life. At the same
time, be confident that the tiniest piece of the
jigsaw will fall into place every day to complete
the picture. Your friendly concierge or errand
runner is just a text or click away.
