How to reclaim your time and find the work/life balance you DESERVE!

Updated: Sep 25

Because who doesn't want more time for the important stuff, right?!


Ever feel like you're spinning plates whilst juggling flaming torches...blindfolded?


We've all been there!


You're conquering the business world, but missing out on life's little moments - like your child's school play, or that massage you've been 'meaning' to attend.


Well, it's time to change that!


You didn't start your business to be chained to your desk 24/7. You started it to have freedom, flexibility and to actually ENJOY life. So let's dive into how you can reclaim your time.


1. Delegate like the boss that you are!

Believe me, you don't have to do it all. It's time to pass on those time draining tasks that are eating up your day. Let someone else handle this stuff so that you can focus on what really matters - growing your business and sipping that well deserved latte (or 🥂😉)


2. Prioritise what really matters

Not all tasks are created equal, you know. Identify your high-impact activities so that you only focus on the tasks that move the needle. The rest? Delegate or ditch!


3. Set some serious boundaries

And stick to them! Work will expand to fill the time you give it. Honestly, this is so true. So create a schedule and STICK to it! Set specific work hours and, for the love of god, log off when you're supposed to. Then you can enjoy your leisure time doing whatever lights you up!


4. Embrace technology

There's literally an app for everything these days, so use them! Automate repetitive tasks, from scheduling social media posts to managing emails, let technology be your new BFF 👯‍♀️


5. Learn to say 'No'

You can't pour from an empty cup... So only commit to things that align with your goals. It's okay (actually it's essential) to turn down stuff that doesn't serve you. Future you will thank you for it, trust me!


6. Take REAL breaks

Yes, I'm talking about actual time off, not just an hour here and there. Plan holidays, trips or just a few days off from work so that you can unplug! Your business won't crumble if you step away for a bit, I promise 👌🏼


7. Outsource!

Let's face it, admin and social media can be a black hole of lost time. Invest in social media management or admin support, and know that someone else has your back. Which neatly ties into all of the above, which you can easily do if you had some business support 🤩


Finally, remember why you started all this in the first place! Keep your eyes on the prize. Stay true to your vision, don't let the daily grind make you lose sight of what matters most!


So there you have it - it's time to take back control and create the work/life balance you've been dreaming of!


Need a supportive sidekick to help you on this journey? I'm here to give you that extra hand so that your 'dream' can be your reality 🙌🏼


Why not drop me a message and we can talk through all the ways in which outsourcing can help!
