Schedule your business time. Make your family time family time and your business time business time. I used to try to just hop on the phone and/or computer throughout the day when I got a free minute, but soon I’d find myself in the middle of toddler meltdown with a client on the phone or my page of marketing strategies being used as snowflakes (you know torn to bits). My daughter needed my attention and when it was split between her and my business it made things frustrating for the both of us. Now I keep my business time and my daughter time separate. I work on my business during her nap, or during a movie and after she goes to bed. I switch my phone off and focus on her when it’s her time. This means when I do get to work I have to be efficient and focused so I automate what I can and let the internet and my computer do alot of the work for me. Then I give my business the attention it needs and only I can provide without all the frustration. Likewise, my daughter gets the attention she needs and the meltdowns are much fewer and farther in between.
