Do you sometimes look back at the things you were doing before you became a Virtual Assistant and then realize that all of them are connecting?

Well that was how I felt anytime I remember my journey as a baker, managing time, attending to customers, organizing of the shops documents and recording sales.

When I became a Virtual Assistant I noticed that all the things I was doing as a baker aligned and that I was not really wasting my time studying the virtual Assistant course cause I had a background knowledge on the skills being taught.

As a virtual Assistant I realized that
Time management was a very important skill that every virtual Assistant must have especially when you're dealing with two different time zones
Attending to customers which is related to customer service is one crucial thing in every Industry cause it's the way you relate to every customer that determine if they'll come back to your organization or not
As a virtual Assistant you must be organized cause no company or organization will want to hire a disorganized person
Recording of sales which is related to data entry and bookkeeping. This is also a very important skill every virtual Assistant must have cause companies are looking for people that can be accountable and also pay attention to details.

All these things that I was doing as a baker of which I thought were just some normal stuffs that I was doing actually shaped me and made me the Virtual Assistant that I am today.

Ethereum's recent major upgrade is called *Pectra*. This upgrade combines the Prague and Electra upgrades, focusing on improving scalability, usability, and staking efficiency ¹ ². Pectra introduces several key changes, including:

- *Programmable Wallets*: Allowing Ethereum wallets to behave like smart contracts, enabling features like conditional transfers and automated trading strategies ².
- *Increased Staking Cap*: Raising the staking limit per validator from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, simplifying validator operations but potentially centralizing power ².
- *Verkle Trees*: Replacing Merkle trees to reduce data storage needs and improve scalability [7).

Pectra is currently being tested on Ethereum's testnets, with an expected mainnet launch in April 2025 ¹.
