Hey there,
Working for yourself is ‘the dream’ and I’m grateful every single day that I have the flexibility to work when I want and from where I want, with no boss breathing down my neck (though I am probably harder on myself than a ‘boss’ ever was).
As I write this, I’m sitting in a trampoline play centre. We’re nearing the end of school holidays, which seem to drag on interminably. I’ve already taken 8 days off work, but as these holidays drag to their end, carving out 60 minutes of time where I don’t feel guilty comes at a cost. $18 to be exact!
If you’re anything like me, when you run your own business, the lines between family and work blur significantly. Trying to fit everything in and not be working 20 hours a day can sometimes feel impossible, right?
As a reforming workaholic, even I can get twitchy if my laptop isn’t on my lap, or my phone isn’t in hand. But it’s taken a long time to realise that busy does not equal productive.
I’m in this business because I want to have that time for the people I love – not just be busy.
So let’s you & I, make a commitment to work less, ok?
